THE HOUSE THAT HUTCHINSON BUILT: PRESERVING A TOUCHSTONE TO EDISTO ISLAND'S
BLACK HISTORY
On Arlene Hutchinson’s deathbed, Gretchen Smith, director of the Edisto Island
Historic Preservation Society in South Carolina, made her friend a promise: to
save and restore Hutchinson’s generations-old, dilapidated family home. Built by
Arlene's great-grandfather, a freedperson born into slavery, the Folk
Victorian-style house remains one of the only 19th-century freedperson’s homes
still standing on the island. Learn how the National Trust’s African American
Cultural Heritage Action Fund helped Smith keep her promise, and how the home’s
renovation provided unexpected insight into Edisto Island's Black history.
