Scope and Content

Constructed 1824-26. A wealthy lumber merchant and Goose Creek rice planter built this 2½ story, plantation style, brick house in the mid-1820s. Characterized by late-Federal or Regency detailing, the structure has a stone staircase that approaches a double-tiered piazza set on an arcaded foundation. Tuscan columns support a flattened arcade on the first tier of the piazza that forms the foundation for a second tier. A central brick pediment with dogtoothed cornice extends from the roof, matching detailing on the side gables. The Bickley family held the property until 1880, conveying it then to Charles Bateman, a railway freight agent. By this point change through subdivision and differing economic conditions substantially affected the character of the Radcliffeborough district. File contains newspaper article (1969 DYKYC); house history from Information for Guides of Historic Charleston (1984); historical research notes (HCF); SC Historical Society tour house history (1964); Rosen and Associates (engineers) inspection report (1991).
