19 BROAD STREET HISTORY
The original structure at 19 Broad Street was built in 1794 by local merchant Andrew Kerr. Then in 1817 it was rebuilt to house a bank. It was remodeled with a new façade (the first floor of which remains) in 1840. It continued to serve as various banks until 1861 at the outbreak of the Civil War. In 1873, it became the headquarters of The News and Courier, a predecessor to today’s Post and Courier. It served in this capacity until 1902. The earthquake of 1886 caused significant damage, but it was repaired, as evinced by its earthquake bolts. Afterwards, the top 2 stories became simple stucco over brick.

The Jacobson Building (as well as Jake’s Market) earned its current moniker from lawyer I.H. “Jake” Jacobson, who bought the building to start his law firm in 1953. For 20 years, he practiced law here until his death in 1973. At this point it was passed to his grandson, the current owner. He converted to the current inn/condo concept in 2002, while retaining the ground-level storefront.

Now you have the opportunity to put your mark on this extraordinary building with 18th century roots.

The eat-in kitchen is outfitted with high-end appliances including a JennAir gas stove, Bosch dishwasher, and Sub-Zero refrigerator. The cabinetry has just been painted and features soft close doors and pullout drawers. The kitchen has a passthrough to the dining room that opens the whole first floor up for entertaining.

Upstairs, the primary suite includes a small sitting area, walk-in closet, convenient stacked laundry closet, and an elegant marble bath with beautiful tile work overlooking the garden below. The front bedroom has a working fireplace and utilizes another full bath in the hall. Pulldown stairs lead to the attic, which is floored for extra storage space.

The main house at 84 King Street was built in 1785 and the estate included typical dependency outbuildings. The property currently numbered 84 ½ King Street was originally a separate kitchen, as evinced by the foundations for 2 large fireplaces still extant in the crawlspace. These would have been used for cooking and laundry. The kitchen likely dates from before the early 19th century. It was brought down during the great earthquake of 1886 and now sports the iconic earthquake bolts of many historic downtown Charleston buildings. In 2008, it was completely renovated by well-known and respected builder Harper J. Finucan, under the watchful eye of the BAR.

Today, the home is immaculate, with all new electrical and plumbing – even including sewer lines to the street. The interior and exterior brick has been repointed. The concrete crawlspace is encapsulated and has a sump pump and dehumidifier – even though the home is high and dry. It also has is a water booster pump for extra water pressure. Interior and exterior windows, trim, and fully functional shutters are freshly painted as well. Start living the ultimate Charleston experience, just blocks from Rainbow Row, White Point Garden and The Battery, and world-famous King Street shopping and dining at 84 ½ King Street.
