This house dates back to 1763 and was the home of John Rutledge, who was clearly an underachiever. Not only was he a singer of the Declaration of Independence, he was the first Governor of South Carolina, and Justice of the United States Supreme Court (among other things). The cool thing is that you too can sleep there, as it is now an inn and has one of the most recognizable sidewalks in Charleston.
