The Blake Tenements were built between 1760 and 1772 by Daniel Blake,[2] a planter from Newington Plantation on the Ashley River.[3][4] The building was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.[1] The building was renovated for use as an annex to a nearby county office building in 1969.[5]

The Blake Tenements were photographed in 1925.
