Glimpses of Charleston

A local's eye view

The Joseph Manigault House on Meeting Street was built in 1803, and designed by Joseph's brother Gabriel.  In 1920, after a number of owners and uses, it was slated to be demolished. Susan Pringle Frost, who is best know for founding the Preservation Society of Charleston, created the Society for Preservation of Old Dwellings (which later became the Preservation Society) to save it.
