THE MOVEMENT OF ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS WITHIN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University and the Graduate School of the College of Charleston In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Historic Preservation by Laura Ashley Burghardt May 2009 Accepted by: Jonathan H. Poston, Committee Chair Ashley Robbins Wilson Ralph C. Muldrow Robert D. Russell, Jr., Ph.D. i ABSTRACT The movement of architectural elements from one building to another within Charleston, South Carolina, is an integral part of historic preservation in the city. From the earliest days of the city’s historic preservation movement in the 1920s, preservationists have understood the importance of preserving elements of historic structures. In the early twentieth century, architectural elements were threatened by antique dealers and collectors of architecture who sought to purchase decorative elements, even out of standing houses. Buildings were also threatened with demolition as gas stations and other modern structures were constructed.
