Description

A charming old building is adorned with an intricate wrought iron balcony under the shade of an overhanging tree. The architecture features shuttered windows and a brick foundation, giving it a historic and elegant appearance.

8 Meeting Street (Thomas Tucker House)

Constructed before 1806; renovated 1821, ca. 1850. The earliest surviving construction on this lot is a weatherboarded single house located immediately behind the imposing masonry facade. This stuccoed front building, retaining its early patina, boasts a mid-19th century cast iron balcony overlooking the street. Located behind this 1821 addition and the original house are two brick dependencies that once functioned as the kitchen, laundry, and servants' quarters of the main house. Probably built by Capt. Thomas Tucker, it was purchased in 1806 by Abraham Crouch. Later the dwelling passed into the Ladson family, who retained it until 1960.
