Elliott St, Charleston, SC
**Charleston Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 66000964, date listed 10/15/1966
An area roughly bounded by Broad, Bay, S. Battery and Ashley and an area along Church bounded by Cumberland and Chalmers
Charleston, SC (Charleston County)
A National Historic Landmark (www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalhistoriclandmarks/list-of-nh...).
Charleston was established as the first permanent settlement in South Carolina and was the political, economic and cultural center of the colony from its founding in 1670 until after the American Revolution. Its continued development in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries was related to its port facilities and to its role as a distribution center. The Civil War had a devastating effect on the city, leading to long-lasting economic problems.
See map pg 25.
Because this area of expansion includes over 2000 buildings, a listing of contributing and noncontributing buildings seemed unwieldy. Therefore, a list of buildings currently considered to be noncontributing (see pg 63) is included. It should be assumed that all structures within the district boundaries but not listed among the noncontributing buildings, are contributing buildings to the district. (pg 45)
A lot of confusion still exists as to which portions of Charleston were designated as part of the NHL district and at what time. (pg 77) (1)
Elliott Street is a historic and charming alleyway in Charleston's South of Broad neighborhood, connecting East Bay Street to Church Street. Historically a busy retail area in the 1700s, it is now primarily residential with beautifully restored tenement houses. While there are no businesses directly on Elliott Street, it is just steps away from many popular restaurants, shops, and attractions. (Google AI)
