Brief Historical Insight: This classic island farmhouse cottage, also referred to as The Hunter House, was built in 1925 by Elden Hunter after finishing his service in WWI who came to the island with his wife Florence, along with his parents from Brunswick, NJ. Elden became the first postmaster at the US Post Office on Edisto Island. He and his family were active members at Trinity Episcopal Church on the island and their legacy remains there where they dedicated the church steeple to Elden’s mother. Note the last three photos! The first photo shows the home in the 1960’s, the second photo is Florence, Elden’s wife at the Post Office. Last is a photo of Elden himself with  his neighbors.
