Historical Information:
C. Joseph Fowler purchased the lot in 1913. He and his wife, Nellie lived in the house by 1915, but then sold the house in 1917 to Gladys W. Emerson. Mrs. Emerson lived in the house with her husband, Mr. Faye Oscar Emerson. Mr. Emerson served as the secretary to the president of the College of Charleston for a brief period before beginning his career with the Charleston Evening Post, where he became the city editor in 1913.
