Subject: RE: Mystery House - Can You Identify?
Karen,
I do not recall having seen this building before, and I am all but certain that it is not and never was in Charleston. I also do not recall having seen chimneys joined together in Charleston as are shown on the adjacent house in the photo. There are some examples of this feature in the Upcountry of South Carolina, but the adjacent building appears to be a row house somewhere to the north. I have seen similar houses in Richmond, but they are more common in Pennsylvania than farther south.
Gene
More indication that it's not a Charleston House:
2/19/2010, Kristopher King: this house can't be in charleston, as it has snow catches on the slate roof and stone foundation (for ground freeze).
2/19/2010, Cynthia Coker: If you look at the chimneys of the building to the left of the subject
building, you will see a unique two part chimney with a window
between the chimneys that I am not sure exists in Charleston. If it
does, it would be only in an early building.Create Date
