The house, located at 14 Legare St., Charleston, South Carolina, is famous for its large brick gates with decorative wrought iron. The gates, which were installed by George Edwards (who owned the house until 1835) and which bear his initials, include finials that were carved to resemble Italian pinecones. They are frequently referred to as pineapples by locals, and the house is known popularly as the Pineapple Gates House.[3] It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973.[1][4] The house was occupied by James Adger Smyth, a mayor of Charleston from 1879 until he died on April 25, 1920.[5][6] In 1951, Dr. L.S. Fuller and Mrs. Josephine Wilson sold the house to Standard Oil executive Mr. and Mrs. Bushrod B. Howard for $50,000. The Howards sold the house for $100,000 (the highest price paid for a house in Charleston at that time) to Nancy Stevenson, the lieutenant governor of South Carolina during the Riley admininstation and wife of Norman Stevenson.[6] In April 1987, Thomas R. Bennett, a Charleston real estate agent, bought the house for $800,000.[7] In May 1989, Bennett sold the house for $2 million to William and Cynthia Gilliam (again the highest price paid for a Charleston house at the time), and the Gilliams sold the house to Andrew Crispo for $2,050,000 in September 1990.[8] In April 1997, an executive with Goldman Sachs, John L. Thornton, purchased the house following a court-ordered auction to help satisfy the debts of its owner, art dealer Andrew Crispo. The $3.1 million high bid was the highest price paid for a house in Charleston at the time.[9] The Thorntons are responsible for an extensive, heavily researched restoration of the gardens.[10] According to the South Carolina Department of Archives and History, "In 1816, George Edwards purchased the property and enlarged the premises, creating a garden which was separated from the house yard by a notable fence of wrought iron which had unusual stuccoed columns topped with sandstone balls."[11] See also
