The Benjamin Simons NeufvilleHouse is a Greek Rival house at 72 Anson St., Charleston, South Carolina. [1] It is one of the largest houses in the Ansonborough neighborhood. [2] The house was built by Eliza Neufville Kohne in 1846 and remained in the family until 1904. [3] [4] The house was purchased by the Historic Charleston Foundation in 1959, which added a brick and wrought iron fence and tore down a later addition to the home, before selling it in 1962. While much of the interior was original, a fire in the 1950s resulted in much of the first floor of the home requiring extensive repairs. [5] [6]
