Book Description
This collection of turn-of-the-century postcards represents Charleston 100 years ago. Compared to the city residents and visitors know today, the resemblance is remarkable; however, much has changed. The property that once housed the Orphan House became a Sears Roebuck and, later, the growing College of Charleston. The Mills House became the St. John Hotel in the early 1900s, but after falling into disrepair, the building was sold in 1968. It was replaced by a close replica of the original Mills House at the corner of Meeting and Queen Streets. These are just a few examples of the transformation seen in the "Holy City." While much of Charleston has evolved with modern times, more than enough of the past remains.

The Charleston Orphan House
Author: John E. Murray
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226924092
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
"In The Charleston Orphan House, distinguished economic historian John E. Murray uncovers a world about which previous generations of scholars knew next to nothing: the world of orphaned children in early national and antebellum America. Employing a unique cache of records, Murray offers a sensitive and sympathetic account of the history of the institution - the first public orphan house in the US - while at the same time making it clear that Charleston's beneficence toward white orphans was inextricably linked to the racial ideology of the city's leaders. In Murray's hands, the voices of poor white families in early America are heard as never before." -- Peter A Coclanis, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. -- Book jacket.
