Great history story. Having spent a great deal of time working in Charleston, I'm familiar with these places. I used to stay at a hotel on Rivers, not far from the Navy base there. There is a cemetery not far from there upstream on the Cooper that contains very old graves from the 1700's. I had night shift duty once in it, gauging monitoring wells to measure tidal influence on the local groundwater. That was one scary night. Giant moss draped live oaks, pitch black, headstones, and sasquatch sounds coming from all corners of this very large grave yard. I could "feel" the history in that place.
Thanks for posting this as I never knew about the Quarter House.
Your story is a nice connection to this one. Thanks for posting.
