1961 LOUTREL BRIGGS GARDEN PLAN
As evidenced in the original drawing, Briggs designed a space that respected the historic tradition at the site by choosing sensitive forms and timeless
patterns that, in the words of Briggs, “[maintain] the traditional charm of Charleston and the surrounding Low Country.” He cultivated a strong connection
between his designed garden and the existing house. While the current garden needs cultivation, the foundation of the Briggs plan is still present and could
bloom beautifully to once again compliment the house.
The portion of the Loutrel Briggs garden from the street to the center wall shall be under easement with Historic Charleston Foundation. The rear portion of the
garden after the wall shall not be under easement, see garden plan depicted above.
