Bathrooms split between pre-1939 cottages and post-Hugo rebuilds
About 23% of homes on Sullivan's Island predate 1939, but the largest share was built between 1980 and 1999, in the wave of rebuilding that followed Hurricane Hugo's direct 1989 hit.
Why the housing-age split matters for a bathroom
A pre-1939 cottage bathroom and a post-Hugo elevated-home bathroom are different jobs — one often means working around original framing, the other means routing plumbing through a piling-supported foundation built to current elevation rules.
