Hampstead Village is a neighborhood in Charleston, South Carolina in the US, also known as the Eastside or the East Side. A prominent mercant, Henry Laurens, bought several tracts totaling 99 acres where Hampstead Village is today. He began acquiring the land in 1769 with a purchase of land from George Austin, and then he added nearby parcels.Laurens had his holdings platted on an English model, with Mary St. to the south (bordering Wraggborough), the edge of the Cooper River to the east, King St. to the west, and an unnamed creek near present-day Cooper St. to the north. Advertisements for lots in 1769 included mentions of a central square to be planned out by the first 21 buyers; that square was created and is today known as Hampstead Mall. Sales were lackluster: he sold only 68 of the 140 lots within the first 21 months. Most of even those lots were sold to Laurens's business parter, Wiliam Bampfield.The Revolutionary War also slowed the development of the new neighborhood. In May 1779, South Carolina governor John Rutledge ordered that the new houses be razed because they blocked the view of the City's defenders of the British forces to the north.

The Robert Gibbes House in Charleston, South Carolina, was built in the Adamesque style at least by the time Robert Gibbes, Jr. was occupying it in 1819, perhaps earlier.The land upon which the house was built, at the northwest corner of Elizabeth and John Streets, had belonged to William Wragg and passed to his heirs after Wragg died in 1796. The property was subsequently acquired in part by Gabriel Manigault. It is possible that Manigault, an amateur but successful architect known for his Adamesque designs, had a hand in designing the building before dying in 1809. The property was later reacquired by Robert Gibbes' family and remained in his family until 1863.The house began a Charleston single house with two-story piazzas overlooking John Street to the south. The interior features Adamesque woodwork.
