Students shall pick a building to research in the city of Charleston, South Carolina that is at least 45 years old and write an 8-9 page research paper on it.

The paper must include an architectural description of the building, a history of the building (including use, architect if known, and known occupants), and an assessment of the building’s condition and identifiable modifications. Not included as part of this page count will be copies of the historical records found from your research in an appendix (such as architectural drawings, building permits, historical maps/Sanborn, historic pictures, digital pictures from the present, city directories, archival records on use and occupants, etc.). Keep in mind that conducting this type of research will take time and some expense for photocopying, printing, and such. A historic house museum may not be used for this assignment. A diversity of different sources should be used for this assignment. Check the class schedule below for assignment due date. The assignment will be submitted on OAKS.
