Charleston business, listed 1854
Mills House
Hotel
On Meeting Street, Queen Street.
A listing proves a year, not a span. A house in the 1854 book and the 1858 Review was there in 1854 and in 1858. The years between are not evidenced here, and nothing on this page should be read as saying the firm traded through them.
