Ralph Izard House Explained

The Ralph Izard is a pre-Revolutionary house at 110 Broad St., Charleston, South Carolina.[1] Although the house is known as the Ralph Izard House, it was likely built by a former owner, William Harvey. The house was listed in the will of Izard of September 1757, but Izard had only acquired the parcel three months before his death.[2]

In 1837, the house was sold to Joel Roberts Poinsett and Mary Poinsett. They held the house for more than twenty years before selling it to Judge Mitchell King, a municipal judge and trustee for the College of Charleston. Among his descendants who occupied the house was George D. Bryan, a mayor of Charleston.
