About
The Drayton House is a historic Victorian-era dwelling at 25 East Battery, Charleston, South Carolina, United States. It was completed in 1885 for Eliza Gantt Drayton and Charles H. Drayton and designed by W.B.W. Howe, Jr.
The location of the house was the former site of a c.1830 Greek Revival-style dwelling, which was destroyed in the Civil War. The Drayton House was built atop the foundation of the former dwelling, and erected with white brick and black mortar with elements of Queen Anne architecture and Eastlake detailing.
