Lowndes Grove
The Lowndes Grove, also known as The Grove or Grove Farm, is a house built in about 1786 on the Ashley River in Charleston. It is located on a triangular plot of land bordered by St. Margaret Street, 5th Avenue, and 6th Avenue. It was named to the National Register of Historic Places on 30 August 1978.〔〔
==History==
John Gibbes built a house and garden with greenhouses on The Grove before the Revolutionary War.〔 The house was probably located near Indian Hill on the Citadel campus. It was likely destroyed in 1779,〔"Gibbes Landing" http://www.halseymap.com/Flash/window.asp?HMID=35〕 but the gardens remained. Around 1786, heirs of the Gibbes family divided the land into smaller tracts, and three of the northernmost parcels were acquired by George Abbot Hall. Since the 1791 inventory of Hall's estate mentioned a house, it is assumed that the house was built around 1786.〔 The next owners were the Beaufain brothers of the West Indies who operated a small faming operation on the site. They sold the house, which they had named Wedderburn Lodge, to Mary Clodner Vesey. She, in turn, in 1803, sold the property to William Lowndes, who was elected to the U.S. Congress. He served in Congress until he resigned due to poor health in 1822.〔
After several owners, a Charleston businessman, Frederick W. Wagener, acquired the house. He was the president and one of the chief promoters of the South Carolina Inter-State and West Indian Exposition, which was held in 1901–1902. The exposition was held on his . The Lowndes Grove house was used as the Woman's Building.〔
