The John Lining House is one of the oldest houses in Charleston. Although the lot upon which the house stands was first conveyed to French Huguenot immigrant Jaques DeBordeaux in 1694, it is uncertain when the house was built; the first mention of a house appears in a 1715 deed by which the property, including a dwelling, was conveyed to William Harvey, Jr. In 1757, the house was received by Mrs. Sarah Lining, the wife of Dr. John Lining. Although the couple owned the house for less than one year before transferring it to John Rattray, Dr. Lining's name stuck as the name of the dwelling. In 1780, the building was acquired by Dr. Andrew Turnbull, the founder of New Smyrna, Florida, who opened in the house the first of a long series of apothecary shops which remained until 1960. In 1960, the house was in danger of being demolished, but it was bought by the Preservation Society of Charleston in late 1961 and restored at a cost of $75,000.

The Grimke-Fraser Tenements were built in about 1762 on land that Frederic Grimke purchased in 1747. The thick brick wall that divides the house into two halves and which projects through the roof is evidence of the house's early use as a rental property made of two side-by-side units.The property includes a separate kitchen house in the rear which is perhaps as old as the main house. An application for demolition of the kitchen house to make way for a new house on the rear of the lot was denied in 1974.The house's common name includes a reference to Charles Fraser, a noted Charleston artist who once occupied the property and whose artwork includes views from the windows of the house.
