John Schnierle House

The John Schnierle House is an antebellum house in Charleston, South Carolina that was the home of Mayor John Schnierle.

John Michael Schnierle, a carpenter, bought the property upon which 31 Pitt Street was built on January 9, 1817.[1] It appears that the house was built as a rental property, as the Schnierle family continued to live at their Legare Street (then Friend Street) house until John Michael Schnierle died in 1844.[1] His estate papers listed the house as one of his properties.[1] When the estate was closed, the house at 31 Pitt Street was included in the portion received by his son, also named John Schnierle.[1] The younger John Schnierle served as the mayor of Charleston from 1842 to 1845 and then again in 1851 and 1852.[1]

The house is a typical Charleston single house with Greek Revival details.[1] The house was restored following its purchase by Wilson Ford Fullbright in 1971.[1]
