Gabriel Manigault (March 17, 1758 – November 4, 1809) was an American architect.[1]

Early life

Manigault was born in Charleston, South Carolina on March 17, 1758. He was the son of Elizabeth Wragg Manigault (1736–1773) and Peter Manigault (1731–1773), the wealthiest person in British North America in 1770.[2] His sister, Henrietta Manigault, was the wife of Nathaniel Heyward, a wealthy rice planter who accumulated at least twenty-two plantations and assorted lands throughout the low country.[1]

His great-grandfather was Pierre Manigault (1664–1729), a French Huguenot who was born in La Rochelle, France and settled in Charleston.[3]

Career

He went to study in Geneva, Switzerland, and London, and came back to Charleston after the American Revolutionary War.[4] He employed Greek Revival and Adamesque styles.

His works include the Joseph Manigault House in Charleston, South Carolina, a National Historic Landmark, designed in the Adam style of Robert Adam, built in 1790.[4][5]

In Charleston, he designed the Charleston City Hall (South Carolina) but designed only five homes.[4] He may have designed Presqui'ile and William Blacklock House.

Between the late 1780s and 1790s, the family traveled north frequently, visiting the Izard family who lived in New York. In 1805, Manigault sold part of his South Carolina land, and moved permanently to Clifton, an estate near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1]
