The Joseph Manigault house was built in 1803 and was designed by Joseph Manigault's brother Gabriel, who also designed Charleston’s current City Hall. Joseph was a wealthy rice planter who inherited several rice plantations and over two hundred slaves from his grandfather, in addition to marrying into a family with lots of money. His wife's father, Arthur Middleton, was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The centerpiece of the house is a “flying” staircase in the hall. As you travel throughout the house, you will notice that many rooms are restored to their original color schemes and decorated with an exceptional collection of American, English and French period furnishings. If you plan to visit the Charleston Museum or the Heyward-Washington House, you can buy combo tickets and save money. Allow about 30 minutes to tour the house.
