The Gadsden House, circa 1798, was originally built as a wedding gift from Revolutionary War hero Christopher Gadsden to his son. The home remained in the Gadsden family until the mid-20th century when the property was converted to apartments and office space. In 2014, the Historic Charleston Foundation, in partnership with Luxury Simplified Construction, began the restoration of the property to its current grandeur. The property, which is listed on the National Historic Register, now serves as one of Charleston’s finest private event venues.
