32 Society Street (Gabriel B. Browne House) |
Scope & Content |
Constructed 1846; rehabilitated 1968; facade restored 1990. Gabriel Browne, a commercial merchant at Gibbes Wharf, built this well-detailed brick house on a raised basement in 1846. According to the city census of 1860, Browne was still the owner-occupant of the site. In exterior form, the house matches those in the eastern block of Hasell Street, but it is a wider building with a more expansive interior than other Ansonborough single houses. (Poston, Buildings of Charleston.)
