Dr. Vincent LeSeigneur House - Charleston, South Carolina
This collectible piece features the historic Dr. Vincent LeSeigneur House located on Church Street in Charleston, South Carolina. The house is a 3½ story stuccoed, Adamesque single house with a two-tiered piazza. It was built between September 1811 and June 1812 by George Keenan, a grocery merchant. In 1814, the home was purchased by Dr. Vincent LeSeigneur, a native of Caen, Normandy, who significantly improved the property.
Dr. LeSeigneur immigrated to Charleston in 1793 as a refugee from the Santo Domingan slave revolution. While in Charleston, he was noted for operating a hospital for slaves known as the House of Health, located at the corner of Broad and Savage Streets. After the doctor’s death in 1846, the property remained in the Hopkins-Mikell-Lebby-Jenkins family for 125 years, with the title descending in the female line. The interior features handsome woodwork and decorative plaster of the Adam, Regency, and Victorian periods.
This piece is part of the Shelia’s collection, made in the USA in 2002. It is marked CHS68.
