Title |
34 South Battery (Gadsden-Burckmeyer House) |
Scope & Content |
Constructed 1820-30; altered early 1900s. Col. John Ashe of 32 South Battery left this lot to his daughter Mary, the wife of Capt. Christopher Gadsden. The Gadsdens built this 3-story masonry house with front pediment, probably in the 1820s. In the early 20th century the double-tiered, bow-front piazzas were removed and a Neoclassical Revival style doorway, reproduction ironwork balcony, and lunette window were added to the front facade. File contains FOHG house history (undated-current); FOHG garden history (2008); scant historical research notes (John Laurens); photocopy of existing first floor plan (Historic Preservation Consultants, 2001). |
