U.S. Coast Guard Historic District
U.S. Coast Guard Historic District, Maritime historic district at Sullivan's Island, United States.
The U.S. Coast Guard Historic District contains three buildings and a signal tower arranged in an L-shaped layout on Sullivan's Island.
The district began as a life saving station in 1891, featuring a station house, boathouse, and additional structures built through the 1930s.
The district represents the evolution of maritime rescue operations from the United States Life Saving Service to the modern Coast Guard establishment.
Located between Station 18 and Station 18 1/2 on Ion Avenue, the district spans approximately 5 acres of coastal territory.
Two surfmen from this station received Silver Lifesaving medals for their rescue efforts, with James J. Coste honored posthumously in 1898.
