Gabriel Manigault House, 290 Meeting Street

Description:

Photograph of the Gabriel Manigault House (290 Meeting Street). A "For Sale" sign by W.C. Wilbur & Co. can be seen at the Meeting Street entrance. Melchers set his camera up in the middle of the street to get the side and front view of the house. Several automobiles can be seen parked along Meeting. 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).
