Remarks
The Augustus Richardson Taft house is a preservationist's dream, receiving the highly regarded Carolopolis award in 1978. As one of the few surviving dwellings of the earlier Greek Revival, the estate retains a lightness and grace associated with this architectural period as well as its original black cypress construction. Although the planning of Charleston houses underwent a few fundamental changes during the mid 1800's, builders retained such features as the double piazzas and experimented with new room arrangements. 57 Laurens St is an early example of the side hall plan which places the entry passage along a side wall to allow for double parlors that can be used separately or together to create a spacious suite of rooms. Many other historic features are also evident throughout this home including black marble mantels, plaster cornices, and the ceiling medallions. A notable garden, protected by an easement, is situated to the west of the property and boasts beautiful brick detail, a private pool, and a magnificent live oak. This charming historic property is located in the midst of Ansonborough within blocks of fine restaurants, art galleries, shopping and museums. This property is full of history and unlimited potential.Sale Info
