This house on Chalmers Street (c. 1880) has a much older across the street neighbor. The Pink House, which was built around 1694, is the second oldest residence in Charleston and one of the oldest buildings in South Carolina.

These houses are part of an attached row on Queen Street that was developed about 1802, by a father and son team — William Johnson Sr. and Jr. Both had noteworthy careers, including Junior being named to the US Supreme Court by Thomas Jefferson.

This beautiful house, built in 1810, is located on State Street, diagonally across from Lodge Alley — named that because of the building in it that housed the “Marine Lodge of Freemasons” in the 1770’s.

Home to the Footlight Players, the Queen Street Playhouse (c.1830) was originally built as a warehouse for cotton, one of South Carolina’s cash crops. Just a block in from the wharves, it would have been a busy place.

This little house, all 576 square feet of it, was built circa 1790. Located on State Street in the French Quarter, it would have been a dependency building or cook house for a grander house.

The Old Exchange a & Provost Dungeon is one of the most significant colonial buildings in the United States. Built in 1771, it has seen it’s more than fair share of history — including being used to host some dinners and gatherings to honor George Washington when he visited Charleston in 1791.

It was a great day in Charleston history when the Wicked Witch of the South (of Broad) had a house land on it on Tradd Street.
