Editorâs note: This is the 33rd installment in a serialized history of Charleston to commemorate the cityâs 350th anniversary.
The Joseph Manigault House on Meeting Street was slated for demotion in 1920, ostensibly in the name of progress.
Some developer wanted the land, not for the house but to serve all the new automobiles cruising Charleston streets. But Susan Pringle Frost considered the idea heresy, and she would not allow it.
Frost hailed from some of the oldest families in the Lowcountry, and made a name for herself leading the local suffrage movement. Before the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified, she was on to her next cause.
