Gabriel Manigault House, 290 Meeting Street

Description:

Photograph of the plaster rosette originally found in the drawing room of the Gabriel Manigault House. Chamberlain wrote on verso, "Rosette from ceiling in Drawing Room, 2nd floor, Holmes House - SE corner of George & Meeting Sts. Apr. 1930." The 1929 Charleston City Directory lists a "Mrs. A.J.C. Holmes" as the resident and the 1930 directory lists the address 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).
