49 South Battery (Col. James English House)Entry/Object ID
SBATTERY.049.1Scope and Content
Constructed ca. 1795. Colonel English constructed his house on a lot formerly owned by Francis Salters and abutting the former Charleston sea wall along the shore of the Ashley River. The exterior stucco was apparently used to cover the brickwork and scored to resemble stone blocks with corner quoining. The house retains its original Neoclassical double-tiered side piazzas and most of its original nine-over-nine white window sashes. (Poston, Buildings of Charleston.)
