Charleston County South Carolina Historic Sites

William Enston Home

Developed in the late 19th century, the William Enston Home is an early example of a planned community for the elderly. Comprised of 24 residential cottages, a community building, Memorial Hall, an infirmary, an engine house, a water tower and an entrance gate. Although rare in Charleston, the buildings constitute a significant collection of Romanesque Revival architecture.

The majority of the cottages were built in 1889 on 12 acres with shaded and stone-paved roadways, named after various English sites and historical figures. The remaining buildings were all added by the 1930s. Today the complex is owned by the Housing Authority of Charleston, and the restored cottages are home to persons of low to moderate income.

Located at 900 King Street, only the grounds are open to the public at the William Enston Home. You must check in at the main office first.
