Opis

Christopher Gustavus Memminger was a prominent Charleston, South Carolina, attorney, legislator and investor who in the 1830s purchased a parcel of land in the mountains of North Carolina and began construction on a summer residence he named Rock Hill. The estate was apparently well established by the 1850s as his sketch and journal indicate a main house with an addition, a kitchen building, ice house, fountain, wagon house, and two servants' quarters, one of which is the subject of this report.
