C.- 1804
This significant single house was built by Benjamin DuPr?, a French tailor, sometime after 1803. The entire area was known as "Gadsden's Green" after Christopher Gadsden who divided this land into six wharf lots and 197 back lots, built a brick Market, a canal and a landing. East Bay Street was known as Front Street, George Street was named Minority Street, after Gadsden's political interest, DuPr?'s house was built in the prevailing Federal Style and in 1813 was purchased by the merchant Thomas Lesesne.
