Nonprofit purchases $2.7M historic building at Navy base in North Charleston
Decades since injured World War II-era soldiers were treated within its walls, the historic structure on the former Navy base in North Charleston will be a place where communities can come together and find solutions to critical issues.
The Coastal Community Foundation will soon take residence of the former Sick Officers’ Quarters — now an office building in the Naval Hospital Historic District. With the help of a large donation from Frank and Kristi Haygood , the foundation was able to purchase the $2.7 million property at 1691 Turnbull Ave.
While efforts have been underway to revitalize and preserve the old base, various structures in the historic district have become dilapidated and the site remains vulnerable with a rail line planned to run about 1,400 feet through the area.
