The Rev. Edwin Wagner, first rector of the Church of the Holy Apostles, had this house built before 1857 on land that he owned. He deeded part of the land adjacent to his house to the church for the erection of a church and cemetery. The house, though, remained in separate ownership from the church until recently. Later owners include James T. Aldrich and Dr. Angus Bethune Patterson, who both served in the South Carolina General Assembly.
