Notes
  • Significance: This building is part of the original campus of the College of Charleston. While the "free school lands" were set aside by the colony in 1712, the land was not utilized for this purpose until chartering of the College of Charleston in 1785 when ten acres of school designated land was formally given to the college. The Porter's Lodge was designed by Edward Brickell White and built in the 1850s. White was also responsible for designing the later porticoes and wings for Harrison Randolph Hall, the main campus building constructed c. 1828 and located through and just to the north of the Porter's Lodge. This small Classical-Revival building, remodeled after a Roman truimphal arch, serves as the entrance to the set of original campus structures, providing a sense of definition and axis to the area. Its triple arches and doric columns create a "temple dedicated to the progress of the mind."
