Clues of Wealth

Wealth and prestige are often displayed by our homes and property.This outline represents a Georgian home that once sat on lots 17 and 18. Described in 1786 as "a wooden house on brickfoundation," the house belonged to the Izard family, prominent landowners, planters and political leaders of Colonial South Carolina. Artifacts discovered here, historical records and the Georgian architecture provide insight about the wealth of this family.
(Left picture) The Izards owned these lots for more than 75 years. For a time the house was rented by a wealthy town physician, Dr. Archibald McNeill. A wine-bottle fragment inscribed with his name was found during a site excavation.
(Right picture) An illustration of how the Izard house mighthave looked rises above the remains of the foundation discoveredby archaeologists.
