Morgan Home on Laurens Street Aiken’s Second Oldest House
The Morgan home on Laurens Street is likely the second oldest in Aiken. Built by James Matthew Legare, he lived there until about 1850 and is buried at St Thaddeus Cemetery. Legare’s wall bird bath, a synthetic wood mantle with a carved head motif, and his painted panels reflect his artistry. Charles Morgan, visiting after the Civil War, helped beautify Aiken and may have installed the fountain in Morgan Circle. The Abuthnott home houses a governor’s mansion mirror from James Milton Smith. The three Tricentennial tours, February 14–15, will showcase this property.
