James Vanderhorst House

It is notable 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] Hutty and his wife sold the property in 1951.

[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.
