Depicts four of the seven brick tenements at 110-112 Pemberton St. built in 1748 for George Mifflin. John Workman, a South Carolina lumber merchant, bought the properties from Mifflin's grandson, John, and built the larger properties in front of these tenements at 742-746 S. Front St. in 1812-1813. This group of houses is still named for Workman. The initials "GM" (for George Mifflin) appear on the north wall of 110 Pemberton St. (Tenements 1-2), and the date "1748" appears on the north wall of 112 Pemberton St. (Tenements 3-4).
