Located
on Church Street, the Dr. Vincent LeSeigneur House
is a 3½ story stuccoed, Adamesque single house with
a two tiered piazza. The house was built between
September of 1811 and June of 1812 by George Keenan,
a grocery merchant. In 1814 the home was purchased
by Dr. Vincent LeSeigneur, a native of Caen,
Normandy, who significantly improved the property.
Dr. LeSeigneur immigrated to Charleston in 1793 as a
refugee from the Santo Domingan slave revolution.
While in Charleston, he was noted for operating a
hospital for slaves known as the House of Health,
which was located at the corner of Broad and Savage
Streets. After the doctor’s death in 1846 the
property was the home of the related Hopkins -
Mikell - Lebby - Jenkins family for 125 years with
the title descending in the female line. The
interior features handsome woodwork and decorative
plaster of the Adam, Regency, and Victorian periods.
Edition Limited to 4000.
The
key is located in the ironwork on the railing of the
balcony

Built
in 1856 for cotton broker Francis J. Porcher, this
house originally had a pedimented center pavilion
and masked piazza in the Italianate style. In
1894, John C. Simonds purchased the house and
remodeled it in the popular Italian Renaissance
Revival style. The two front piazzas, one square
and one oval, were added as well as a semi-oval
wing on the south side. The alleged story behind
the unique style of the house is said to be
because of a disagreement between husband and wife
over the specific style-one wanted the Italianate
style while the other wanted the Rennaissance
style. The contractor, impatient and tired of the
indecisiveness of the couple, decided to blend the
two styles, thus the eclectic combination of
carved textures and Ionic order columns.
The key is
located far right side bottom of the entry gate.
Size: 5 ¾ Wide X 5 High X 1 Wide
(Note: The first two runs had misspellings on the
back.)

Built
in 1849, the mansion is the second house along
Charleston's famous Battery. The walls, made of
local brick, are 32 inches thick. Despite their
thickness, the house was severely damaged during
the earthquake oof 1886. The house is sometimes
referred to as the pink palace because of the
liberal use of pink paint on the exteriorof the
house and garden area. During the Civil War, it
was the home of Dr. St. Julien Ravenel, the
builder of the Confederate torpedo baot, David.
The cigar shaped vessel, 50 feet long and powered
by steam, attacked and seriously damaged the Union
frigate, New Ironsides, on Oct. 5, 1863. In 1953,
the house was purchased by Dr. Joe Sam Palmer, and
is currently operated as a Bed and Breakfast.

The
Manigault House, built in 1803, is one of
Charleston's finest examples of Adam style architecture. The house was designed by Gabriel
Manigault for his brother Joseph. Both men were
low country rice planters of considerable means.
Gabriel Manigault was educated abroad in Geneva
and London and owned an extensive library on
architecture. Gabriel was considered by many to be
the first Charleston architect in the modern sense
of the term, in that he prepared designs which
were executed by builder. The Manigault House is
registered as a National Historic Landmark and is
owned and maintained by the Charleston Museum.
