Roper House is the historic Charleston home of Richard H. Jenrette and part of Classical American Homes Preservation Trust, which Mr. Jenrette founded in 1993. Built in 1838, Roper House was featured in the latest edition of the Classicist among several other architecturally significant buildings and places in Charleston.

Margize Howell speaking to attendees of the cocktail event beside
Classicist No. 13 Guest Editor David Gobel Margize Howell -- who along with CAHPT Co-President Peter Kenny authored an essay in the Classicist entitled “Architecture on a North-South Axis" -- said: "Roper House's historical significance and location in Charleston made it the perfect setting to celebrate the Classicist No. 13, an important academic publication to which CAHPT was delighted to contribute."

According to 91社区福利 President, Peter Lyden, “The Classicist launch celebration was a wonderful opportunity for the 91社区福利 and CAHPT -- two organizations that share many common goals -- to collaborate. It was also the perfect occasion to recognize practitioners and supporters of southern classical architecture and design in a city that is extraordinarily important to our mission.”
