Joseph Floyd Manor, Public housing tower in Upper Peninsula, Charleston, United States.
Joseph Floyd Manor is a 12-story residential building located at the intersection of Mount Pleasant Street and King Street in Charleston. The structure houses around 156 residents in single-occupancy rooms, with ground-floor mixed-use spaces and upper levels dedicated to long-term occupancy.
The building was constructed in 1950 as the Darlington Apartments and originally served as a multifamily residential complex. In 1981, it was converted into senior housing to serve residents with specific care needs.
Friends of Joseph Floyd Manor organizes weekly food pantries and annual Secret Santa events to support the elderly and disabled residents.
The building sits at a central traffic intersection in Charleston where two major streets meet. Visitors should gather information in advance about accessibility, especially during poor weather or if assistance is needed for certain areas.
Local state officials initiated changes in the Housing Authority leadership in 2020 after inspections revealed substantial maintenance requirements.
