Fenwick Hall Carriage House

Fenwick's Carriage House
John's Island, SC

"Fenwick's Carriage House"
Edward Fenwick Sr's "Coach House".
circa ~ 1750
Built by Edward Sr (son of John) after Edward inherited Fenwick Hall & other plantations from his father and upon returning from England following his father's death.The carriages and coach horses were housed in this building. Edward's now famous 'race horses' were stabled in a 'matching' stable to the carriage house on the other side of the main house. Nothing remains of the once impressive stable. The horses that pulled the carriages were housed separate from Edward's race & breeding horses. Edward would 'present & show' his newest english horse importations at the Battery in Charleston and race them at New Market course in Charles Town.

1970's Coach House, Stono River side. Upstairs was used as a Game Room by the Blanchards. Claude W. Blanchard Sr, was a 'city champion' pool player. The inside of the Coach house had been chopped up into offices by Fenwick Hospital. Now the carriage house has been restored and I consider it a show place. The huge wood coach doors are now glass that overlooks the rear lawn of the estate. Note the ancient oak tree limb in the right of the image. Photographer John Hauser.
