Restoring and maintaining the historic structure of Charleston is a crucial, painstaking and sometimes unplanned task. This building on King Street literally went from being a vibrant BBQ restaurant (Nick’s BBQ — with a cool neon pig sign) one day to closed and requiring stabilization and restoration the next (no one blamed the pig). It’s not an insignificant undertaking, and having owners willing to treat their properties with the care and respect they deserve makes Charleston the wonderful place that it is.
