Dr. M(aynard) E(dward) Carrere (physician, 1813-79) is shown at 37 Radcliffe, as well as Eliza Frances Rugge Carrere, widow of Charles.  Charles (1762-1829) was born in France, while Eliza was a native of London, England (1781-1876). Dr. Carrere was a volunteer surgeon at the Confederate hospital in Charleston. I found Mr. Carrere listed as the owner of the property at 1 Orange Street along with Ann Brailsford by an 1861 City of Charleston Census as well as the occupant. The owner and occupant of 37 Radcliff Street was Eliza F. Carrere. Dr. M.E. Carrere was listed as owner (but not occupant) of various other homes on Radcliffe Street as well as countless other locations with other named tenants.
