Constructed about 1810, the two-and-one-half story George Chisolm House is the first house to have been built upon the landfill project that formed Charleston, South Carolina's famous Battery.
In 1877, the house was bought by Edwin P. Frost. Mr. Frost served as a vestryman at St. Michael's Episcopal Church where he was responsible for hiring Tiffany & Co. to decorate its chancel. At the same time, he had the company decorate the living room of 39 East Battery with gold leaf. The decoration was removed in 1970.
The garden to the south of the house was designed by Loutrel Briggs.
