10 Limehouse Street (William Pinckney Shingler House)Entry/Object ID
LIMEHOUSE.010.1Scope and Content
Constructed 1857-1859 by the wealthy cotton factor William Pinckney Shingler, who bought several lots on the west side of the street in 1856 from the Limehouse family, and built and lived in the house at 9 Limehouse Street for a few months until his wife died and there was a temporary decline in cotton prices. Tradition holds that within a year, he married his late wife's sister and began construction of the similarly styled but larger-scaled brick dwelling at 10 Limehouse Street. This house has a street-level pedimented doorway with a guilloche molding and a "masked piazza," a brick wall with false windows shielding a double-tiered piazza from the street. Its former dependency, now a separate dwelling, remains at 12 Limehouse Street.
