Rooted in Southern legacy, revived by new hands, history since World War II.
Eighty years ago, a modest home rose on Folly Beach, carrying the hopes of a family through World War II. Passed down through four generations, it weathered storms, salt, and time, each chapter adding to its story.
Today, lovingly restored with care and vision, that same home has become the very first on the island to earn the Carolopolis Award, a symbol not just of preservation, but of resilience, legacy, and love for place. Its walls hold history, its spirit inspires, and its recognition shines as a beacon of what it means to honor the past while embracing the future.
