Title |
Stoll's Alley (General) |
Scope & Content |
This quaint, brick-paved passage was originally known as "Pilots Alley," a reference to the maritime nature of the waterfront in the 18th century. It was later named for Justinus Stoll, a blacksmith, who is thought to have built his home at 7 Stoll's Alley, ca. 1745. The street was dilapidated in the 1920s and has since been rehabilitated into one of the most charming spots in Charleston. There are several wrought-iron gates on this alley that were created by blacksmith Philip Simmons. (City of Charleston Tour Guide Training Manual) File contains report entitled "A Notable Restoration: Stroll's Alley" by Mary Ralls Dockstader (undated); Preservation Progress article "A Stroll Down Stoll's Alley" by Eve Thompson (Nov. 1962); news articles about the restoration of Stoll's Alley, including the efforts of Alida Canfield (Mrs. George Canfield) (NC 2/25/1931; PC 9/9/1973). |
