Glenwood, at 800 Orchard Street on Charleston’s West Side, was built in 1852 for newspaper editor James Madison Laidley using local materials. In 1857, it was sold to Judge George Summers, for whom Summers County is named. The house was restored in 1954 by Summers’ descendants, Lucy and Elizabeth Quarrier, and has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1978. Today, it is owned by the Historic Glenwood Foundation.
