Historic Markers, Branford-Horry House - Charleston, SC
Historic marker from the Preservation Society of Charleston and National Register plaque on the Branford-Horry House (1765-67). 59 Meeting St, Charleston, South Carolina, USA. "This outstanding Georgian House, designated of National Importance was built by William Branford (1715-1767), planter and member of the Colonial Assembly, on land inherited by his wife Elizabeth Savage (1731-1817). It is famous for its carved cypress paneling and its drawing room which has been called 'one of the most distinguished 18th century rooms in America.' The piazzas were added circa 1826 by Branford's grandson Elias Horry (1773-1834), lawyer, planter, twice Mayor of Charleston, President of the Charleston Library Society and the College of Charleston, and in 1831-1834 President of the South Carolina Railroad when it was the longest railroad in the world. From 1853-1882, the house was home of the family of Antoine Barbot, a prominent Charleston merchant, and his wife Marie Esnard. The house is protected by external and internal easements held by the Preservation Society of Charleston."
