Denmark Vesey House, National Historic Landmark on Bull Street, Charleston, United States.
The Denmark Vesey House is a single-story wooden building with a front porch, two entrance doors, and seven rooms inside at 56 Bull Street. This structure stands as a designated landmark in downtown Charleston's historic district.
The building received National Historic Landmark status in 1976 as recognition of Charleston's history. Research in the 1980s revealed, however, that the structure was built after events of 1822.
The house connects to a figure who fought against slavery and organized a major uprising in Charleston. Visitors encounter a site that commemorates this act of resistance and its place in local history.
The house sits in downtown Charleston within the historic district and remains visible to visitors. Exploring the surrounding area allows you to locate it easily and view it as part of the streetscape.
The building carries its name despite research showing the person it honors never lived there. It retained its protected status anyway, making it an intriguing case in how sites are remembered.
