HCF Celebrates 63rd Charter Day

Publisher: Historic Charleston Foundation
Date: 04/20/2010
Website: Charter Day in the Post and Courier

To celebrate the founding of Historic Charleston Foundation, HCF honors the individuals and organizations who have made extraordinary contributions in protecting the integrity of the architecture, history, and culture of Charleston and the Lowcountry in the preceding year.

On Tuesday, April 20, 2010, the Staats-Huffman-Forrester family received Historic Charleston Foundation's highest honor, the Frances R. Edmunds Award, for their unswerving commitment to historic preservation for nearly seventy uninterrupted years and for their legacy of hospitality and service to community.

The Samuel Gaillard Stoney Conservation Craftsmanship Award was presented to three recipients, Robert Dempsey, David Hoffman and Jim Rhode.

The Robert N.S. and Patti Foos Whitelaw Founders Award was given to James Meadors for the restoration of 93 and 97 Broad St., to the Dingman family for the restoration of 32 Legare St. (the Sword Gate House) and to the Catholic Diocese of Charleston for the addition of a steeple, which completed the original plan for the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.

In addition, the Trustees of Historic Charleston Foundation recognized those property owners who donated new easements on their properties in 2009:

Malcolm and Judy McAlpin for 46 Anson Street (exterior)
Edward Pritchard for 129 Broad Street (exterior)
John and Julie Bresnan for 2 Bedons Alley
