Meeting Street Manor

The Jackson Street Freedman's Cottages are four small worker housing units at 193–199 Jackson Street in Charleston, South Carolina. They are simple frame structures with gabled roofs and front piazzas, built in the 1890s to meet demand for worker housing. The stylistic appellation "freedman's cottage" is based on the incorrect belief that these types of houses were originally commonly built for recently emancipated African Americans after the American Civil War. "Charleston cottage" is used to refer to the house. These four cottages were recently rehabilitated by Cameron Glaws of Brown-Glaws Contractors. The renovation of the Jackson Street Freedman's Cottages started in April 2018 and was completed in December 2018. The buildings were rehabilitated according to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. The rehabilitation of these historic buildings included the use of State and Federal Historic Tax Credits.The cottages were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.

The Emma Abbott Memorial Chapel is a late Victorian church located at 52 Cooper St., Charleston, South Carolina. On October 4, 1890, the Citadel Square Baptist Church bought a parcel at the northwest corner of Cooper and America Streets for the construction of a mission church serving the Eastside. The land was marshy and had to be filled at a cost of $1500. In January 1891, Citadel Square Baptist Church learned that it had been named as one of several beneficiaries of the estate of Emma Abbott, a popular opera singer. She had attended church at Citadel Square Baptist Church during trips to Charleston in 1880, 1886, and February 1888.Abbott left the church $5,000, but because of New York probate laws, the gift could not be released until January 1892. In the meantime, the church began foundation work for the new church. The church hired Richmond, Virginia architect S.H. Foulk to design their new mission. The work was performed by John Murphy for $4,000; he finished the work in December 1892. The cost of the building had been higher than expected, and the steeple was not built. A two-story entrance tower appears to have been a later addition.The church was designed in the Romanesque Revival style and has broad gables with shingles, narrow weatherboard siding, and large round-topped openings. The interior is executed largely in wood.Since 1977, the church has been occupied by the Mt. Sinai Holiness Church of Deliverance.
