William Mills Tenement
c. 1801
The builder of this tenement,
William Mills, was born in
Dundee, Scotland, and became
a prosperous tailor and planter
in Charleston. He was the
father of Robert Mills, pupil
of Thomas Jefferson and
America's first native
professionally trained
architect.
The house remained in
the Mills family until 1835
when it was sold by William's
daughter, Sarah. It was
restored in the 1930s by
Mrs. Henry Chisolm.
Marker is on Elliott Street, on the right when traveling west.
