42 Gadsden Street
Harleston Village
Constructed circa 1855 as the carriage house to Washington Jefferson Bennett’s house at 60 Montagu, 42 Gadsden features a pair of Gothic Revival carriage doors contained within an arch. Attic windows with decorative turned balustrades, set along the upper level of the façade, are reminiscent of those found on the 1844 Bennett Rice Mill, believed to have been designed by Mr. Bennett’s father, Governor Bennett.
Property owners Steven and Mary Caroline Stewart engaged an exterior work plan to repair deteriorated windows, repoint masonry with lime mortar, and replace an asphalt shingle roof with a slate roof. New carriage doors were constructed with period detailing and the modern brick infill in the two spandrels was removed and replaced with wooden louvers.
