French Quarter Location
Located in Charleston's French Quarter, the property is opposite the Heyward-Washington House and 0.5 km from Historic Charleston City Market, Saint Philip Protestant Episcopal Church, Nathaniel Russell House, Confederate Museum, Old Slave Mart Museum, and Pineapple Fountain. The Charleston Museum is 5 minutes' drive away. The 19th-century market sells clothing, crafts, and artwork.

Historic Building Features
The three-story house maintains historic details including a wide fan-lighted entry accessing a side passage running the length of the dwelling. The second-floor drawing room follows the design of earlier merchant houses on Church Street. This architectural feature was unusual for its period.
“Staying here feels like stepping directly into Charleston's history, especially given the building's 1778 origins and prime location across from the Heyward-Washington House. The cottages provide a surprisingly generous amount of space, complete with full kitchens and cozy fireplaces; the outdoor courtyard creates a true sense of escape, a private world amid the city's bustle. It's a memorable base for exploring the French Quarter and beyond.”
