Entry/Object ID

MEETING.039.1

Scope and Content

Constructed 1767; altered 1886-87. Miller & Fullerton, builders. One of the few known partnerships of housebuilders in colonial Charleston designed and executed this stuccoed brick single house for St. Michael's Church. It served as the parish's first minister's house but became a rental property after the Revolution and was eventually sold to rice planter William Read in 1825. Although retaining its notable compass-headed stair window on the north, the dwelling received considerable damage in the earthquake and now boasts a bracketed Victorian cornice. (Poston, Buildings of Charleston.) Three files contain documentation of the easement on the property including related correspondence and Confirmation of Understanding; Part I certification (National Register); annual inspection reports, request for alterations, and correspondence related to the management of the property; archaeological report; FOHG house history (1992); brief narrative history (undated, unattributed); engineer's (Russell A. Rosen) inspection report (1988). See Easement Documentation Photo Files for easement donation photographs (Exh. B to Deed of Conservation Easement). No inspection photographs on file (see Easement Manager).
