Charleston, South Carolina’s Thinnest House
“The Afro-American has become heir to the myths that it is better to be poor than rich. Lower-class rather than middle or upper. Easy going rather than industrious. Extravagant rather than thrifty and athletic rather than academic.”
Right in the heart of the East side on corner of Reid and America Street is Charleston, South Carolina’s thinnest house. This home, which later became an art installation for Spoleto and now source of wonder for those passerby walkers, joggers and adventurers.
Next time you are on the East side, take some time to admire the rich history and proud sense of community.
It truly is a beautiful part of our city.
