Woodrum-Stevens House

836_lower_chestnut_drive010_standard

The Woodrums-Stevens house at 836 Lower Chester Road is one of the three original houses built in the Woodrum Partition, now part of the Edgewood Historic District. It was built in 1920-1921 by C.E. Woodrum, one of the owners of the Woodrum Furniture Company. The house is believed to be the only house in Charleston that is a mirror image of itself, meaning that the front and back of the house look the same. The home was built on a promontory, and below is the original carriage trail that residents once used to reach the Woodrum Partition. The home has been owned by Thom and Pam Stevens since 1991.
