JamesHoban
James Hoban, 1762-1831, was born in Desart, near Callan,
County Kilkenny, Ireland. Hoban was raised at Cuffesgrange,
Co. Kilkenny where he learned carpentry skills. He studied
architecture at the Royal Dublin Society.
During the American Revolutionary War, Hoban
emigrated to the United States, and established himself
as an architect in Philadelphia in 1781. Hoban moved
to South Carolina in 1787, with his brothers Philip and
Joseph; he lived there for at least six more years.
We know little of Hobans life in South Carolina except
that he formed a partnership with carpenter Pierce
Purcell and became well known among the gentry for
his ability as an architect and builder. He was a
founding vestryman in 1791 of Saint Mary’s Church,
the first Catholic church established in the Carolinas.
Among Hoban’s references were some of the most
prominent citizens of Charleston: Henry Laurens,
a close friend of President George Washington; fellow
Irishman Aedanus Burke; and American Revolutionary
War General William Moultrie.

Pierre L’Enfant plan of Washington, D.C. Wikimedia Commons
Hobans name has been connected with public buildings
and plantation houses in the Charleston area, most notably
the historic Charleston County Courthouse and the William
Seabrook house. Another prominent building in Charleston,
actually documented as a Hoban design, was a 1,200-seat
theater on Savages Green that no longer survives.
The plan of Washington
In 1791 President George Washington appointed Pierre
Charles LEnfant to design the new capital city. L’Enfant’s
plan was based on a grid, with streets traveling north-
south and east-west. Diagonal avenues, which came to
be named after the states, crossed the grid, intersecting
with the grid to form plazas. The overall effect aimed to
establish a city with direction and character.
To be connected in a straight line by an avenue
160 feet wide, LEnfant selected two high spots Jenkins Hill
for the Congress Houseand a second hill a mile and a
half away for the “President’s Palace. The avenue,
though no longer a straight line, since an addition,
to the Treasury building in 1840 effectively blocked it,
became Pennsylvania Avenue.
