The Nathaniel Ingraham House was constructed between 1810 and 1818 by merchant and naval officer Nathaniel Ingraham, who served aboard John Paul Jones's Bon Homme Richard during the Revolutionary War. The original house is primarily Federal in style with three bays and a traditional central hall plan. The masonry and stucco structure features a high basement designed for Charleston's waterfront environment. The house has an illustrious chain of ownership representing some of Charleston's most prominent families. Dr. William Burgoyne purchased the house from Ingraham in 1821 and expanded the property by acquiring the neighboring Francis Saltus House at 6 Water Street. In 1832, Otis Mills, developer of the Mills House Hotel, combined the properties. During the Civil War's 1864 bombardment, the house was heavily damaged. Subsequent owners Anna Wells and her husband, Dr. Edward Wells, a Confederate historian and war hero, made significant architectural changes including adding a Second Empire style mansard roof and cast-metal detailing at the cornice and window heads, likely between 1865 and 1885. The Wells family lived at 2 Water Street from 1879 to 1919. Their daughter, Sabina Elliott Wells, an artist and designer, later became a celebrated Newcomb potter and held classes there as part of the School of Decoration and Applied Design, connected with the Gibbes Art Museum. According to Jonathan Poston, author of Buildings of Charleston, this home "has always oriented to the harbor, even though its entry has continually faced Water Street," with incredible harbor views from the very large drawing room across the front of the house. The property has been featured on Garden Tours since at least 1955 and has been carefully stewarded by only a handful of prominent Charleston families throughout its two-century history.
