Week-37 - Dataw Historic Foundation https://www.datawhistory.org Fostering the rich history of Dataw Island, South Carolina Fri, 30 May 2025 00:23:12 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://www.datawhistory.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/cropped-Dataw-Historic-Foundation-logo-512x406-1-32x32.png Week-37 - Dataw Historic Foundation https://www.datawhistory.org 32 32 This Old House – a Photo https://www.datawhistory.org/52-sams-in-52-weeks/this-old-house-a-photo/ Tue, 15 Sep 2020 11:00:26 +0000 https://www.datawhistory.org/?p=4768 The theme this week is “This Old House - a Photo,” not related to that great PBS program, but the Dr. B.B. Sams house. In my week 12 and week 15 articles, I described the Sams Tabby Complex, with an emphasis on the house, the most distinctive feature of the ruins on Dataw Island. One of the world’s foremost experts on tabby construction, Colin Brooker, has just published the definitive book on tabby architecture in Beaufort, South Carolina and the Sea Islands [Brooker]. The Dataw Historic Foundation will be writing a book review soon, but in anticipation of that, I thought you might be interested in seeing the earliest image ever taken of the BB Sams house.
