The first building at 173 Meeting Street was occupied by the Charleston Theatre , which opened in December 1837. The building was completely destroyed in a devastating fire in 1861. After the fire Enoch Pratt, the owner divided the property into four lots and sold the two northernmost lots to Adolph Tiefenthal. Tiefenthal died in 1878. After he died, two years later his wife remarried to Francois Obdenbeeck Jr. For six years they made their home above the saloon, her saloon keeper. they closed on the business in 1886, so they could make room for their new tenants. You can go to Meeting Street Inn today and still find some things from long ago that is still there.
