This classic Lowcountry cottage, known as Whiteholm, is situated in the heart of Summerville's historic district. Built circa 1815, the home was named by New York socialite Miss Mary Trenholm. Following the 1886 earthquake, Summerville gained a reputation as a healthy retreat due to the pinelands' reputedly cleaner air and reduced airborne diseases. This ushered in the town's golden age, drawing affluent Northerners to establish seasonal residences.The name Whiteholm, derived from Gaelic, means ''the white meadow'' or ''the field of the sunbeam,'' reflecting the home's serene and welcoming ambiance.
