Bennett Street and Gadsden Street Houses

Description

B&W photograph of houses in an area loosely bounded by what's now Lockwood Drive, Wentworth Street, Gadsden Street, and Bennett Street.

Shows the rear elevations of 35 Bennett and 63 Gadsden Streets (first and second houses from left); 22 Bennett Street (third house from left); 64 Gadsden and 62 Gadsden (now gone), and 60 Gadsden (three houses from the right). The rear elevation of the former Charleston Museum, once located on Rutledge Avenue, may be the building near the center in the background.

The mud flat in the foreground is likely the creek that runs behind Bennett Street, from Gadsden to Barre Streets, a parking lot now.
