Introduction
======================================================================
Commonly known as the Denmark Vesey House, the house located at 56
Bull Street in Charleston, South Carolina was for a long time thought
to be the house once inhabited by black abolitionist Denmark Vesey.
Vesey's home, listed as 20 Bull Street under the city's former
numbering system, is now evidently gone. A nearby home, most likely
built in the 1820s and currently numbered 56 Bull Street, was thought
in the 1970s to have been the home of Denmark Vesey, and it was
designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1976 by the Department
of Interior. Vesey was hanged on July 2, 1822, and his body was never
found. Despite these findings, the house has continued to be listed
as a National Historic Landmark and is on the National Register of
Historic Places.
The house described as the Vesey house is a single story wood-frame
structure, oriented sideways to the street. The narrow street facade
has two windows, while the longer west side has a porch extending
across the front portion, with a wider addition to the back. Two
doors enter the house from the porch. The interior of the front
portion has three rooms, one beside the other, and the rear addition
has four more.
