Isaac Holmes Tenement

The Isaac Holmes Tenement is at 107 Church Street, Charleston, South Carolina.

The Isaac Holmes Tenement is a pre-Revolutionary house in Charleston, South Carolina.[1] In 1721, Isaac Holmes acquired the parcel upon which 107 Church Street was built.[1] It appears that he built a house on the land, but whatever structure he had built was lost in a fire in 1740 that wiped out many buildings in the area.[1]

The current house was likely built soon after that fire.[1] The house has Georgian interiors similar to those found in the George Eveleigh House and Thomas Rose House.[1]

When Isaac Holmes prepared his will in 1754, the house was being occupied by a family of no apparent relation to Isaac Holmes.[1]
