Pink House

Description:

Black and white photograph of the north (front) elevation of the Pink House located at 17 Chalmers Street.

Built c. 1712; it is a two story house constructed out of pinkish Bermuda stone giving it the name of Pink House. The roof was most likely redone sometime in the mid 18th century while the rest of the house was restored in the 1930's by Mr. and Mrs. Victor Morawetz. It is believed to be the sole remaining tavern house in the area.

Photographer Charles N. Bayless, funded by grants from the National Endowment for the Arts, photographed and recorded the Carolina Lowcountry between 1970 and 1988. The South Carolina Project took place between 1977 and 1979.
