The Thomas Lamboll House at 19 King Street is a perfect example of how an old Charleston home has weathered and adjusted itself to the changing times of several centuries. Also, when known and understood, it reads like a history book of Charleston and the fortunes and misfortunes which have beset her.
Built around 1739 by Thomas Lee for Thomas Lamboll, it has known many owners, most of whom have seen fit to make changes; however, through it all the house has maintained its original charm and atmosphere.
Your hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Emerson Read invite you to journey back in time as you enjoy the ambiance and history of Charleston. The Lamboll House is located just off the Battery in the heart of the historic district. It offers two large guest bedrooms with private baths. French doors leading onto the third floor piazza which has a distant view of the harbor overlooking the tree tops.
Comfortable queen size beds in cheerful rooms with Charleston's traditional old world style decor. Two large guest bedrooms with private baths and french doors leading to the piazza. The piazza over looks the tree tops with the Ashley River in the distance.
The floors and hardware are original. The furniture is reproduction and antique, several of which belonged to Mrs. Reads great grandmother.
Thomas Lamboll House History:
In 1722 Thomas Lamboll purchased the land for his house. The Lands extended to the north line of 25 King Street to the Cooper River and to the Ashley River. It included White Point Gardens where The Lamboll's had a large Rose Garden accessible only by boat. Mr. and Mr. Lamboll were noted botanist and also had an extensive botanical garden on the southwest corner of King and Lamboll Street that extended to the harbor.
Thomas Lamboll died in 1774. After his death, his daughter, Mary Lamboll Thomas, inherited the property. Eventually it was acquired by the City Council of Charleston for the straightening and widening of Lamboll Street.
In 1849 the house and lot were purchased by Patrick O'Donnell, and the building moved about 20 feet north to its present site. Mr. O'Donnell chose this house for a temporary residence while he supervised the construction of 21 King Street immediately to the north. Apparently his stay at 19 King was not temporary enough - O'Donnells bride-to-be (for whom he was building the new house) chose to marry another man before the building could be completed.
The Lamboll House a notable example of pre-Revolutionary architecture, which also shows evidence of later attempts of change. Many architectural periods are represented- ranging from the early Georgian to the Victorian period. The house, which is now over 250 years old, is a good example of the way in which old Charleston homes have adapted to newer styles without losing their original character and charm.

"We had a marvelous stay at your B&B. Thanks for making us feel at home and sharing Charleston with us." J. Deal
"We enjoyed our three days of warm hospitality and especially the evenings out on the piazza among the trees and birds." B. Dove
" I am just dropping you this note to thank you for making our stay at your lovely home such a pleasant one. Thank you for being so gracious and hospitable." L. Geth
" We have traveled to Kiawah many times and on each occasion have walked through and around the battery area that embraces the splendid array of ante- bellum houses like your Lamboll House masterpiece. But we had never even considered staying in one of them until we became addicted to a "Bed & Breakfast" fever that has led us to some very interesting places and their owners. We regard our three days at Lamboll House to have been the zenith of this experience.-------Again thanks for helping to make our trip this year to Charleston so meaningful. We will remember your kindnes and hospitality as the high points of our visit." L.&C. Stermer |
