Joseph Manigault House

Why go

Gabriel Manigault designed the house for his brother Joseph using ideas associated with Robert Adam. The projecting stair and bowed porch break from common Charleston house plans, while fine interior woodwork carries the design through the rooms. The gate structure and garden extend that composition outside.

What to look for

• The curved stair and projecting stairwell
• Delicate woodwork in the early nineteenth-century rooms
• The gate structure and period garden

Useful to know

• Check the current guided-tour times before pairing the house with the Charleston Museum.
• Look at the building's unusual plan from outside before comparing it with the interior rooms.
