Built around the late 18th to early 19th centuries, the William Fickling House is a modest, two-story clapboard house in Beaufort, South Carolina. It has a more lavish, Adam-style interior.

Being just a stone?s throw away from the St. Helena Episcopal Church, the historic William Fickling House is now the rectory of the church. It was initially the home of William Fickling, a boys? school teacher back in his days. It was originally a one room house, and was later expanded after the Civil War.

Like many buildings and structures in the area that dates back to a couple of centuries ago, the William Fickling House hardly has any documents to backup and validate its history. Its earliest records show that it was sold in 1807 by Fickling?s wife, sometime after his death.
