Daniel Ravenel II House

Built in 1796 by

Daniel Ravenel,

the Second of

Wantoot Plantation,

as a summer home

replacing an earlier building

destroyed in the great fires of that year.

The property came to

his wife in 1749,

having been owned since 1710

by her grandfather

Isaac Mazyck,

the French

Huguenot Immigrant.

This land, with 10 generations of occupancy,

is one of the oldest properties

in this city, and perhaps

the nation, to remain continuously

in the same family.

Marker is on Broad Street 0.1 miles east of Meeting Street, on the left when traveling east.
