Signficant Architectural Features:

Once the home of Hugenot Revolutionary Issac Motte who also owned Exeter Plantation on the Cooper River. This house is typical early Georgian and its massive moldings and wide paneling reflect this type of decor at its peak. The interior staircase has a shallow rail and a dado all the way up to the attic. The 1st floor drawing room has fielded paneling as does the dining room and much of the 2nd story of the house. There is also a beautifully executed chimney piece in the 1st floor drawing room.
