Dr. and Mrs. Doug Rawls (Joyce)
704 S. Main St.
Captain J. Westcoat built this home in 1890 which features
Victorian, Regency and Classic Revival architectural elements.
The home was purchased and remodeled to its current floor plan
in 1900 by Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A. Hugenin. He was the last
Confederate commander of Fort Sumter. Today, the home still
features the original six fireplaces, hand-poured wavy glass
windows, and serviceable shutters. The main foyer has deep crown
molding of carved travertine stone supported by rods extending
to the second floor. The home has five porches, five bedrooms
and five bathrooms. Some Summerville residents will recall
attending a festive party on Christmas Eve at this “Christmas
Party House” when Mr. and Mrs. Jim Martin owned the home. The
current owners have a deep appreciation for the history and
quality craftsmanship and materials apparent in the home and
have enjoyed the challenge of maintaining the integrity of a
historic home in the 21st century! |
