25 East Battery Charles Drayton House c.1885
This Victorian mansion was built in 1885 by Charles H. Drayton, who mined phosphate deposit at his family plantation, Drayton Hall, on the Ashley River. Medieval European and Chinese architectural influences are combined in this structure, designed by Charleston architect W.B.W. Howe. When built, the building's white bricks with black mortar were exposed. Subsequently, the house was stuccoed. (Stockton, DYKYC, April 14, 1975; Stockton, DYKYC, Dec. 21, 1981.)
