19 State Street - Frederick Wolfe House
circa 1796
This two-and-a-half story Charleston Single
House is thought to be built by
Frederick Wolfe after the fire of 1796, which
destroyed much of the State Street ares between
Broad and Queen Streets. The house was
moved back on its orginal lot at 21 State Street
approximately 15 feet in 1813 when State Street
was widened. Threatened by demolition in 1973
to provide access for a parking lot, the house
was acquired by The Preservation Society
of Charleston who moved the structure to its
present location and restored it in 1974.
Marker is on State Street near Chalmers Street, on the right when traveling south.
