While this house has not worn its Santa hat for a few years (it now has a new owner and is being renovated, nothing says Christmas in Charleston better than a 250 year old house dressed for the holidays in the snow! Built in 1771 as the west side of a simple double tenement building, facing Meeting Street, in 1893 it was remodeled to reflect the Victorian tastes of its owner. It’s former twin on Tradd Street still is in its original form.
