About the Author

Author Donna F. Jacobs moved to Charleston in 1974 to attend the College of Charleston. When she and her husband decided to buy a home, Byrnes Downs was the only neighborhood they considered. Donna has been active in the Byrnes Downs Neighborhood Association since its inception and, through her involvement in the association, was introduced to the scrapbook produced by the original garden club. This scrapbook is a wonderfully preserved capsule of life in the late 1940s and early 1950s. It provided the inspiration and numerous photographs for this publication.
