John McKee House

[1] The house follows a traditional Charleston single house layout with a small stair hall separating two main rooms per floor, one toward the street and one toward the rear of the property.

The brickwork suggests that a door originally entered the house from King St., but it was replaced with a window at some point.

Its first known owner was John McKee who died without heirs, leaving the house to the Methodist Episcopal Church.

The Methodist Episcopal Church rented the property out until 1915.

In 1929, Mrs. Victor Morawetz of Fenwick Hall, Johns Island, bought the house.
