197 Jackson St
Charleston, SC 29403

The Jackson Street Cottage in Charleston, SC is a preservation success story, with a rich history dating back to the late 19th century. These Freedman's Cottages, once inhabited by working-class families, have been carefully restored and refurbished, preserving their character-defining features. Now home to a variety of service and professional commercial tenants, this award-winning campus stands as a reminder of the hardworking individuals who once called these cottages home.

Abandoned for years, the remaining structures were stabilized by the City of Charleston and later named to the Preservation Society of Charleston's Seven to Save list. Through a collaborative effort between Clemson University and the College of Charleston, the cottages were restored using salvaged historic materials and careful replication of missing architectural elements. Today, the Jackson Street Cottage serves as a testament to the city's history and a vibrant hub for businesses and services.
