SBATTERY.034.1Scope and Content
Constructed 1820-30; altered early 1900s. Col. John Ashe of 32 South Battery left this lot to his daughter Mary, the wife of Capt. Christopher Gadsden. The Gadsdens built this 3-story masonry house with front pediment, probably in the 1820s. In the early 20th century the double-tiered, bow-front piazzas were removed and a Neoclassical Revival style doorway, reproduction ironwork balcony, and lunette window were added to the front facade.
