The Charles H. Duckett House is a house listed on the National Register of Historic Places located in Laurens, South Carolina. The vernacular, one-story, L-shaped frame house was built ca1892 by Charles H. "Charlie" Duckett, a notable African-American businessman in Laurens. He was a contractor, a carpenter, owner of a funeral home, and owner of what for a number of years was the only lumber yard in the city.[1][2]
The house, built on a brick pier foundation, has a standing seam metal hip roof with a low pitch and beaded weatherboard siding. The main entrance door has an Eastlake-style design. The interior of the house features a central hall with five rooms on the main floor and the kitchen and dining room located in the stuccoed brick wall basement. The dining room has a built-in china cabinet, a Greek revival style mantel and a paneled ceiling. The rooms of the house have plaster walls, carved mantels and picture mouldings.[1][3]
Located in a neighborhood associated with the African-American community since it was first developed, the house remained in the Duckett family until 1975. It is now owned by the Laurens County African American Cultural Foundation,[4] with an easement held by the Palmetto Trust for Historic Preservation.[5] It is now used as a museum and community action center.
