Harold’s Cabin, a warm, rustic, and bustling corner store-styled restaurant and bar, once sat at the corner of Congress and President Streets in the Westside community. When that beloved business shuttered last February, it left a hole in the downtown neighborhood.

Paying homage to the former space is Lillian’s Petite Market & Eatery. This neighborhood market and restaurant has officially opened and looks to breathe new life into the storied space.

The new concept is named after Harold Jacobs’ wife, Lillian Jacobs, who helped him run their store in the mid-twentieth century. Heather Greene leads Lillian’s and has laid out some clear goals for the space.

  • Preserve the legacy of the space
  • Prioritize community + personal connections
  • Continue to evolve to meet Charleston’s needs

Take a trip down memory lane and see the evolution of the downtown hangout since 1929.
