The Joseph Manigault House
An outstanding example of the Adam Style of
architecture in plan, interior detail, and decoration.
The house was designed by Gabriel Manigault,
Charleston's most famous amateur architect, for
his brother Joseph Manigault, who acquired the
lot in 1802 and built the house a short time later.
The lot, which was part of a tract formerly known
as Wraggsborough, had belonged to Joseph
Manigault's mother, Mrs. Peter Manigault, to
whom it had come by inheritance from her father
Joseph Wragg.
