Charleston County News Release
Charleston County News Release Release Number: 2987 Date: March 9, 2009 Kilkenny County, Ireland Representatives Visit Charleston to Promote Exhibit at Historic County Courthouse March 16 event to honor Irish-born architect James Hoban, whose work in Charleston led to his selection as designer for the White House The public is invited to attend a unique event on Monday, March 16, honoring and opening an exhibit for Irish-born architect James Hoban, designer of the White House, The event, “Kilkenny to Carolina: The Emigrant Experience of a Single Area of Ireland and its Charleston Connections”, will include a series of lectures held on March 16 at the Mills House Hotel (115 Meeting Street, Charleston) followed by the opening of the James Hoban exhibit at 5 p.m. at the Charleston County Historic Courthouse (84 Broad Street, Charleston). Distinguished guests from Charleston County and Kilkenny County, Ireland will be in Charleston to participate in the opening of the exhibit. The guests from Ireland are Tomas Breathnach, Chairman of Kilkenny County Council, and Joseph Crockett, Kilkenny City and County Manager. In 1787, Kilkenny-born James Hoban arrived in Charleston, having spent two years in Philadelphia, where he made the acquaintance of many of the prominent South Carolinians who were attending sessions of the Constitutional Convention. Although still in an unfinished state, the Charleston County Courthouse was visited by President George Washington as he searched for architectural examples he could use as a pattern for the White House. While in Charleston, Washington met James Hoban, who worked as a local builder. Hoban would become the architect of the original White House, built in 1792.
