The Nicholas Trott House, located at 83 Cumberland Street in Charleston, South Carolina, is the city's oldest English brick house. It bears the name of its first occupant, Nicholas Trott, from Bermuda. He was the first attorney general for Carolina from 1713 to 1719 and served as the chief justice from 1713 to 1719. He presided over cases, including Stede Bonnet's, but his personal legacy is tied not to a win, but to an end. During a murder trial, he handed his own sentence, making it a peculiar demise.
