Glimpses of Charleston

A local's eye view

This beautiful house at the corner of Tradd and Meeting Streets, originally completed c. 1772, has been modified a number of times over the years. After the Civil War, it was purchased in 1872 by John Doscher -- who used the whole first floor to create Doscher's Grocery, complete with storefront. While the building was later fully restored to house form, you can still find Doscher's Grocery stores in the Charleston area (although they  seem to originate from a different branch of the family).
