Description
One of the few houses built about 1743 remaining in Charleston. It has the thick walls and finely paneled rooms typical of the period. The land on which it stands, granted in 1692, is in the area then known as White Point, bordering Vander Horst Creek (now Water Street). The property was conveyed to George Eveleigh in 1743. The house was bought in 1875 by R. Maynard Marshall in whose family it has remained.
The George Eveleigh House is a pre-Revolutionary house in Charleston, South Carolina. The house was built about 1743 for trader George Eveleigh. Eventually, Eveleigh returned to England and sold his house to John Bull in 1759. John Bull or one of his heirs subsequently built the house at 34 Meeting Street on the rear of the property; the parcel had originally run from Church Street through the block to Meeting Street on the west. The house retains much of its original cypress woodwork although many of the fireplace mantels were replaced in the Adam period See Less
