For a short period of time, the street we now know as Meeting Street was called church Street. But it was so often noted in records and described as the "great street that leadeth past the 'Meeting House'," it soon became known only as Meeting Street The grand house on the northeast corner of Meeting & South Battery Streets across from White Point Gardens, better known as 2 Meeting Street, was completed in 1892, as a wedding gift from George Williams to his daughter Martha and her husband Waring P. Carrington, a King Street jeweler. 2 Meeting Street is designed in the Queen Anne style of architecture. Decorative siding, covered porches, second floor projections and corner turrets are distinctive of Queen Anne style, popular in late 19th century America. An unusual wrought iron gate marks the entry. |
