300 Gervais Street
Middleton Building
Built in 1930 as the district headquarters for the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, this Georgian Revival style building featured all the modern conveniences of the time, including an automatically controlled boiler that used “Standard” heating oil. Named for Arthur Middleton, one of South Carolina’s four signers of the Declaration of Independence, this repurposed building today is the cornerstone of City Club, a townhouse/condominium development established in 2008.
