“What is that chest of drawers for?” “Why is that hook there?” “Is that really a ‘secret’ staircase?” For all the beauty and refinement The Joseph Manigault House presents, there are still some unusual characteristics throughout this Federal-style structure and curious details within its period furnishings. Join Chief Curator Grahame Long, with special guest Lauren Northup, Historic Charleston Foundation’s director of museums and fifth great-granddaughter of house designer Gabriel Manigault, as they delve into the many nineteenth-century peculiarities of this magnificent home and the family that built it.
