Title |
43 Tradd Street (Jonathan Badger Tenement) |
Scope & Content |
Constructed ca. 1746-72. Long thought to have been built by the cabinetmaker Jonathan Badger after his acquisition of the lot in 1746, this substantial brick double tenement may constitute one of the best-preserved exposed-brick buildings in the city from the first quarter of the 18th century. Flemish bond brickwork with brick jack arches and a pantile roof accentuate this building's early character, but interior detailing indicated 1770s rebuilding or alterations. Following the early Charleston single house plan, a door (Greek Revival) stands within the center street opening at 41 Tradd Street. The entire property was sold to the tailor Alexander Cormack in 1700. Recently a brick incised with the date "1772" has been discovered on the exterior. Three files contain documentation of the easement on the property including Deed of Conservation Easement (exterior); Confirmation of Understanding; easement donation acknowledgment letter; Part I certification (National Register); easement appraisal report; IRS form 8283; FOHG house histories (1995, 1997, ca. 2000); biographical information on Jonathan Badger (unattributed); photocopy of photographs of the door casing (unattributed, undated); history of the William Werner family (associated with 43 Tradd Street in the early 1800s) (Davis, 1995). See Easement Documentation Photo Files for easement donation photographs (Exh. B to Deed of Conservation Easement). Files will/may eventually contain additional documentation such as annual inspection reports; requests for alterations; correspondence related to the management of the property; correspondence and other documentation related to the sale of the property; historical research; etc. |
