Historic Architecture, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Buildings And Structures

Presqu'ile, or Presqui'ile, (pronounced Preesk-eel), the French term for "peninsula", was an appropriate name for the house built at 2 Amherst St., Charleston, South Carolina between 1802 and 1808 because, at the time, the house stood on a finger of high ground that projected into the marshes of the Cooper River. The builder, Jacob Belser, was a planter, attorney, and state senator (1812–15). Subsequent owners included Theodore S. Marion, Joshua T. Ward, Maj. Samuel Porcher (the likely builder of Numertia Plantation), Henry Grimke, Joseph Leary, and C.F. Klenke. Then, in 1951, it was bought by the Baptist Association.
