Working location

Jesse Henry Bolles's house, No. 48 St. Philip Street

48 St. Philip Street · Charleston, South Carolina

Not mapped. The address is documented; its position is not established, and no coordinate is published rather than a guess.

Where Bolles lived, from the same census — and the reason his forename can be given in full. The entry reads Jesse Henry Bolles, in a house on the trust estate of E. A. Barfield. No coordinate is published: St. Philip Street was renumbered with the rest of the city and the house is not identified.

The numbering problem

Charleston's present street numbers date from the city-wide renumbering carried out under contract from 1882 and finished before the earthquake of 31 August 1886. A wartime number and a modern number of the same name are not the same address, and no conversion table survives, so this location is not matched to a modern parcel.
