Insider’s Tour: Sullivan’s Island Hard Hat Tour

Join the Preservation Society of Charleston for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the thoughtful rehabilitation of a traditional island cottage on Sullivan’s Island. Led by the project team from Old City Builders, this Hard Hat Tour will explore how a coastal cottage is being carefully adapted for modern living while preserving its historic character and original fabric. This is a multi-generation owned property on a large lot featuring mature landscaping just two blocks from the shore. 

Please note: This event will take place in an active construction site. All participants must sign a general liability waiver upon arrival and closed-toe shoes are required.
