Image
This portrait of St. Julian Devine now hangs on the second floor of the St. Julian Devine Community Center, just across from the elevator. by Susan Millar Williams, Ph. D.  Those who live and work on the East Side know the name St. Julian Devine—it’s the name of the community center located in the old city incinerator, on East Bay Street between Blake and Cooper Streets. But who was the man behind the name.  According to a plaque at the center, St. Julian Devine was born in Berkeley County on July 5, 1911 but moved to Charleston as a youngster because his father worked for the railroad.

It has come to be known as the Christopher Belser House, and also as Presqu’ile , a French word that means peninsula . It may have been designed by Gabriel Manigault, but again, no one is positive.  Archibald Grimke We do know for sure that it was owned (and expanded) by Henry Grimk é , brother of the famous Sarah and Angelina Grimk é , who had three sons by his slave Nancy Weston.
