PROPERTY Lauded in equal measure for both its handsome, assuming presence in the Historic District and colorful history – the c. 1852-1870 Patrick O’Donnell House was infamously built by the aforementioned groom-to-be, but he took so long in completing his masterpiece that his fiancé married another. Other noteworthy tidbits include reports that 21 King was home to the woman who inspired Margaret Mitchell’s Melanie in Gone with the Wind and that it was the birthplace of the South Carolina Poetry Society.
