A handsome Victorian house built for Samuel Lord by the same contractor who built the Old Pine Forest Inn. Three stories tall with double piazzas, it is more representative of Charleston homes. The home was purchased by Elizabeth Arden, cosmetic firm executive, in 1938 as a winter residence, and remained in her possession until 1954.
