Marine Villa
Sullivan's Island
South Carolina

Robert Mills, Statistics (1826)
"The village here laid out is called Moultrieville...It contains about 200 houses, all of wood, and which are occupied sometimes to excess during the summer…"

William Jay's Gothic Marine Villa was constructed in 1818/1819 on Sullivan's Island and has been lost. The only known description is from an ad placed by Jay in the Charleston Courier:

Charleston, January 5, 1819
TO BE SOLD BY PRIVATE CONTRACT
A Marine Villa, pleasantly situated on Sullivan's Island, on the east side of the Fort, from which it is well protected on one side, and has a commanding view of the ocean. Great care has been taken in selecting the materials, and it is framed expressly to withstand a gale. It is erected in the Gothic order, and consists of a Saloon 30 by 20 feet, two Chambers 16 by 14 feet, and two Verandas [sic] 14 by 13 feet; the principal story is 13 feet, and stands 8 feet out of ground. Further particulars may be known, and the drawing seen at the office of Mr. Wm. Jay, Architect, Tradd-street.
