Henry Whilden Lockwood was the fifty-fifth mayor of Charleston, South Carolina, serving between 1938 and 1944.
After completing the term of his predecessor, Lockwood was elected without opposition on December 12, 1939.[1] He was sworn in on December 18, 1939.[2] As mayor, he lobbied his predecessor to continue funding for the construction of a municipal incinerator.[3] Federal authorities continued to delay the construction, however.[4] Lockwood initially supported the demolition of a historic wall at the old Charleston jail until several leaders, including Governor Maybank, expressed support for preserving the structure.[5]
Lockwood was born on August 24, 1891, to Robert Henry Lockwood and Ella Ann Whilden Lockwood. Lockwood died in office on June 5, 1944.
Lockwood lived in a second floor apartment at 12-B Rutledge Ave.[6]
