James Vanderhorst House

The James Vanderhorst House is at 46 Tradd Street in Charleston, South Carolina.

The James Vanderhorst House at 46 Tradd Street is a pre-Revolutionary house which is most famous for its connection to American artist Alfred Hutty.[1]

Hutty restored and occupied the house starting in about 1928; he had moved to Charleston to become the first director of the Carolina Art School.[1] He used the house as his residence, and he restored a separate kitchen house and servants' quarters in the rear of the property as his art studio.[1] Mr. and Mrs. Hutty remained at the house until they sold it in 1951.[2]

As part of his work on the main house, Hutty relocated the entrance to the house to the west (garden) side of the house.[1] The balcony which he installed on the west side was originally installed on Sheppard's Tavern at the northeast corner of Broad and Church Streets; the balcony was saved when the tavern was demolished to make way for a bank building.[1]
