The Benjamin DuPr House, located in Charleston, South Carolina, is a historically significant single house that was built in 1804 by Benjamin DuPr, a French tailor. Situated in the Ansonborough neighborhood, the house is a prime example of the prevailing Federal Style of architecture during that time. Originally part of the Gadsden's Green area, which was divided into wharf lots and back lots by Christopher Gadsden, the house was later purchased by merchant Thomas Lesesne in 1813.
Erected by the Preservation Society of Charleston, the Benjamin DuPr House has been recognized with the prestigious Carolopolis Award, which is presented to buildings that have been preserved, restored, rehabilitated, or are outstanding examples of new construction. The house stands as a testament to the rich history and architectural heritage of Charleston, showcasing the city's charm and character.
