Gabriel Manigault
Gabriel Manigault (March 17, 1758 – November 4, 1809) was an American architect. He was born in Charleston, South Carolina, went to study in Geneva, Switzerland, and London, and came back to Charleston after the American Revolutionary War.[1] He died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His great-grandfather was Pierre Manigault (1664-1729), a French Huguenot who was born in La Rochelle, France and settled in Charleston. His father was Peter Manigault (1731-1773), the wealthiest person in British North America in 1770.
He employed Greek Revival and Adamesque styles.
His works include:
- Joseph Manigault House, in Charleston, South Carolina, a National Historic Landmark, designed in the Adam style of Robert Adam, built in 1790[1]
In Charleston, he designed only five homes.[1] He may have designed Presqui'ile and William Blacklock House.
