PRESERVATION PROGRAMS - Preservation Society of Charleston

Trolley Barn Complex
Tuesday, July 30th, 7 pm
645 Meeting Street | Charleston, SC
In the early 20th century, the Charleston trolley system ran along Meeting
Street south to the Battery and north to Hampton Park and to what would
become North Charleston. At its peak use in 1921, approximately 2,000
Charlestonians were using the trolley system daily. The advent of automobiles
and buses would make the trolley system obsolete by 1938. Designer
Stacey Fraunfelter (Red Letter Events) will transform the space that will
soon be a hub of preservation and design thanks to the American College of
the Building Arts. The menu, created by the founder of the FARMBAR, Tara
Derr Webb, will feature salmorejo hearty gazapcho, Carolina shrimp and
summer greens, fennel, potato and orange salad, sidewinders and “sugar boo.”

Cigar Factory
Tuesday, August 20th, 7 pm
701 East Bay Street | Charleston, SC
One of the most iconic industrial buildings in Charleston, the Cigar Factory
serves as a great reminder of our industrial past and serves as a Civil Rights
Era monument as it was the site where “We Shall Overcome” was first sung
in protest of unequal pay for African Americans. John Pope ( John Pope
Antiques) will create the perfect gathering space in this rustic industrial urban
ruin. Chef Carrie Morey, creator of Callie’s Biscuits, will be serving a Mediterranian
inspired meal that will include fresh tomato and arugula sandwiches
with basil mayo, pimento cheese on pork skins, ham biscuits, a trio of salads,
pickled shrimp, and much more.

Brick House
Tuesday, September 17th, 7 pm
Edisto Island, SC
The lawn of Edisto Island’s Brick House has seen plenty of entertaining over
its almost 300 year existance. Constructured in 1725 by rice planter Paul
Hamilton and acquired by current owners, the Jenkins family, in 1798 the
two-story, eight-room plantation house sits in serene stillness after a fire in
1929 left the house in ruins. Breathing life into this site for one warm night
this summer, Mimi van Wyck (Van Wyck & Van Wyck) will design the evening
and the Lee Bros., Matt and Ted, along with Robert E. “Bobo” Lee, will
be creating a feast that is a tribute to farming, foraging and family traditions
of Edisto Island. Their menu will include “stolen tomatoes,” chanterelles,
oysters, venison and Jenkins family recipes that will be served under the oaks
of this beautiful plantation.
