Faber House, Historical residence in Hampstead Village, Charleston, United States

Faber House is a two-story residence located on East Bay Street, distinguished by a front entrance with four Ionic columns and topped by a cupola. The building displays classical proportions and structural details typical of affluent Charleston homes from the early 1800s.

Construction began in 1839 under Henry F. Faber, but his death that same year meant his brother Joseph W. Faber took over the project to complete it. Restoration efforts started in 1966 when the Historic Charleston Foundation undertook stabilization work on the property.

The house is named for two brothers: Henry F. Faber began it and Joseph W. Faber, his brother-in-law, finished it after buying the half-built property from Henry's widow. The two had jointly bought a whole block intending to build a house each.

Faber House stands in Hampstead Village, a neighbourhood of Charleston, South Carolina, not in a walkable district of any other city. The one-acre lot is private property, so visitors view the exterior from the street; the two-story portico and cupola are best seen in daylight.

A street flare ignited fire damage to the building on June 23, 1969, during the civil rights movement in Charleston, linking it to a pivotal moment of social change. This tangible connection to the city's turbulent history gives the place deeper resonance.
