Gabriel Manigault House, 290 Meeting Street

Description:

Photograph of the Gabriel Manigault House (290 Meeting) with a "For Sale" sign by W.C. Wilbur & Co. visible just below the street entrance. Handwritten on reverse, "Holmes House 288 Meeting Street." The 1929 Charleston City Directory lists a "Mrs. A.J.C. Holmes" as the resident and the 1930 directory lists it as vacant.

Built for Gabriel Manigault c. 1802, the house was purchased by Standard Oil Company and demolished shortly after this image was taken to make way for an Esso Service Station (see MK 20609a and MK 20609b).
