Thank you for posting your request on History Hub
We searched online and located Records: Commissioners of the Alms House (Poor House), 1800-1923 in the custody of the Charleston County Public Library, Charleston, SC. While the catalog description does not mentions photographs or other graphic materials, please contact the Charleston County Public Library for more information about these records and any other holdings they might have related to this topic. Additional institutions that might be able to assist you include Charleston’s Records Management Division, the Charleston Museum, the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, and the South Carolina Historical Society Reading Room.
We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!-
Re: Looking for image of Charleston, SC Poorhouse
Hi Jason,
I asked for help locating an image of Charleston's Poorhouse because I couldn't locate one from any of the places you have so kindly suggested.
If you have any other suggestions I'd love to hear them.
Thanks so much.

Thank you for posting your follow-up request on History Hub!
We searched the National Archives Catalog for records related to Charleston’s Poorhouse without success. The National Archives has limited photographs from the time period you are researching and few records related to non-federal institutions. Nevertheless, you can contact the National Archives at College Park - Still Pictures (RDSS) via email at stillpix@nara.gov and the National Archives at Atlanta via atlanta.archives@nara.gov to request a further search of their holdings. We also suggest that you contact the Library of Congress’s Prints and Photographs Division and the Smithsonian.
We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
