Scope and Content

Constructed ca. 1819; renovated 1900, 1980s. Dr. Vincent Le Seigneur, native of Normandy and refugee from Santo Domingo, purchased this lot in 1814 and completed this masonry single house circa 1819. The house remained untouched until the end of the 19th century, when the crenellated stair tower on the north wall was added by successive owners. Late-20th-century alterations include restoration of the kitchen house and extensive landscaping. The house and extensive dependencies were joined by 1900. (Poston, Buildings of Charleston.) Files contain documentation of the easement on the property including related correspondence and Confirmation of Understanding; Part I certification (National Register); easement appraisal report (2006) and IRS form 8283; annual inspection reports; extensive house history (Stockton, 1995); plat (copy); HCF staff research notes (scant); FOHG house histories (1995, 2007); newspaper articles (including DYKYC); title research (Pemberton, 2020); site plan and elevations. The files will eventually contain requests for alterations, and correspondence related to the management of the property; inspection photography; etc. See Easement Documentation Photo Files for easement donation photographs (Exh. B to Deed of Conservation Easement). No inspection photographs on file (see Easement Manager).
