| Remarks: |
The Dubose Heyward House, circa 1780, has been completely restored by the renowned Richard Marks, of Richard Marks Restoration. Particular attention has been paid to period historic restoration, with great detail and craftsmanship. Original cypress paneling has been exposed and a completely restored cypress study has been completed. This home offers a recently landscaped, lovely private courtyard garden with an added spa/pool, as well as gated off-street parking. French doors open out from almost every room into the courtyard, making this a beautiful, light-filled home perfect for entertaining. This home is designated as a National Historic Landmark and consists of two post-revolutionary houses that were combined into a single unit. Dubose Heyward wrote the novel Porgy that later became the play and movie Porgy and Bess. George and Ira Gershwin were frequent visitors. The Charleston renaissance artist, Alfred Hutty, also owned this home. History claims that George Washington gave a speech from the balcony of 78 Church during his visit to Charleston after the Revolutionary War. Purportedly General Lafayette also visited the home during his trip to Charleston in the early 1800s. 78 Church is a most charming and unusual house with many period details.
