“James Ferguson House”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The James Ferguson House at 442 King St., Charleston, South Carolina, is an antebellum house dating to at least 1840 that is being used as a restaurant.

The house was constructed for James Ferguson, a planter from Berkeley County, South Carolina. Subsequently, it was owned by the Amme family, well known locally for their bakery. The family renovated the house and added a Victorian storefront, giving it the appearance of a three-story building.

By 1976, the house was in poor condition. The Charleston Board of Architectural Review approved its demolition subject to a 180-day delay; preservationists opposed the demolition as the house was an especially early building for upper King Street.^[1] Before the house was razed, two men bought it with the intent of turning it into a restaurant.^[2]

However, the house was not restored until more than 20 years later when a neighboring property owner purchased it and restored it. The house became the location of Fish, a Charleston restaurant. The restoration returned the appearance of its front façade to the 1840s era.^[3]
