This series of virtual house tours of historically and architecturally significant homes in Charleston is narrated by the Preservation Society of Charleston’s Executive Director, Kristopher King, and include guest historians and homeowners; historic photographs; primary source maps; and commentary from other contractors, architects, and preservationists edited into the house tour footage.
The final virtual tour in this four-part series features 89 E Bay Street – the blue house on Rainbow Row – and will be released here on Sunday, December 6, 2020. This house, built in 1787, is notable for its ornamental ironwork, heart pine floors, custom stairwell mural, and original mantels and woodworking. The 20th century effort to save and restore the group of wharf-side buildings, today known as Rainbow Row, is an important part of this house’s history.
