THIS IS 162 WENTWORTH STREET IN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA. IT’S EASY TO SEE IN THE ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHS THAT THIS PROJECT WAS GOING TO BE A DRAMATIC TRANSFORMATION. THE BUILDING WHICH SITS PROMINENTLY ON THE CORNER OF RUTLEDGE AND WENTWORTH STREETS WAS CONSTRUCTED IN THE 1870’S. OVER THE YEARS, THE BUILDING HAD FALLEN INTO DISREPAIR AND THE STOREFRONT WAS SEVERELY ALTERED. OUR GOAL WAS TO DISCOVER AND RECREATE, AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THE HISTORIC STOREFRONT. THE BEAUTIFUL FINISHED PRODUCT IS NOW HOME TO WENTWORTH AND GBS EVENTS AND IN 2025 I RECEIVED A CAROPOLOLIS AWARD FROM THE PRESERVATION SOCIETY OF CHARLESTON.
