Hebrew Orphanage Building

Description:

Black and white photograph of the main entry south side of the Hebrew Orphanage building located at 88 Broad Street.

Built by William Trescott c. 1810, the Bank of South Carolina was housed here until 1833 when it was sold to the Hebrew Orphan Society. Three stories, the facade contains a lunette window within a pediment and the main door is flanked by Corinthian columns.

Photographer Charles N. Bayless, funded by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, photographed and recorded the Carolina Lowcountry between 1970 and 1988. The South Carolina Project took place between 1977 and 1979.
