For a time the collection of the Charleson Library Society was held in the storehouse belonging to Gabriel Manigault.

The original house on this lot, the Gabriel Manigault House, was constructed ca. 1802. It was a two and a half story frame house on brick basement, located at the southeast corner of Meeting Street and George Street.

Demolished in the 1930s and replaced with a gas station, the demolition of this building was one of the inspirations for city council's enactment of America's first historic zoning ordinance in 1931 and to create the nation's first historic district and Architectural Review. The brick and other elements (columns, balusters, and window surrounds) saved from the demolition were used in HCF's Frances R. Edmunds Center for Historic Preservation at 108 Meeting Street.
