Main floor drawing room, typically located on the 2nd level of a 3 story house, in this case, one built in the 1790's. As with similar urban structures in Europe, the first floor or principal level is raised above a high basement, commercial ground level or service floor. To an American the room shown would be considered part of the 2nd floor, but to anyone familiar with the continental customs which dictated how this house was designed and used in an urban setting, this would would be the 1st floor even though it is at least 12 feet above the street. Shown here are some surviving original Adam style interior finishes, including the fire place mantle, wainscotting, wide-board heart pine flooring and rough wood under panels over brick walls. All are in the process of being restored as the entire house is renovated and updated for modern use.

Charleston, on the site of what is now known as 167 Tradd Street. Photo taken following earthquake of August 1886 and now part of the collection of the SC Department of Archives and History.
This is an Interior view of what was the William Sinkler house taken just after the earthquake. The house was pulled down after being judged to be unsafe, much to the chagrin of William Sinkler.
According to family lore, Mr. Sinkler was awakened by the initial shock which occurred just before 10 in the evening on the 31st of August 1886. Despite widespread fears of death and injuries that would result from the almost continuous aftershocks if anyone reentered damaged buildings, Mr. Sinkler decided that returning to his own bed for the remainder of the evening was preferable to remaining awake in the street with a populace in panic, no matter what the threat was for permanent sleep if he did. He reportedly slept like a baby in his own bed for the rest of the night desite the aftershocks and the damage already done to his home.
William Sinkler's personal posessions such as the small writing table seen against the wall were salvaged and are among the collections of his descendents. The site was cleared of the badly damaged Sinkler house and a new residence was constructed few years later at the location, now known as 167 Tradd Street. As with the rubble of ruined buildings created by the great fire of 1861 only 25 years earlier, the remains of many buildings were transformed into landfill covering adjacent marshes or to elevate the relatively low lying existing landscape.
The street numbering system used to identify properties and locations within the city have changed several times over the years. The last major renumbering system was initiated shortly after the 1886 Earthquake.

Typically the main staircase of many of the older houses located in the city, very much part of the entry hall, was often greatly modified to conform to stylistic changes more recent than the age of the house. In some cases as the neighborhoods were changed to accommodate more commercial uses or residential living areas were subdivided into apartments, the original staircases were removed all together. In this example, the only portion of the original Adamesque stair is this very light and utilitarian section connecting the 3rd level with the attic.
