Pink House (1712) is a historic house at 17 Chalmers Street inThe French Quarter, one of the oldest buildings in South Carolina & is the second oldest residence in Charleston after the Colonel William Rhett House. Clearly depicting Ante-bellum Charleston, this charming watercolor print shows Chalmers Street at it prettiest. Note the Earthquake Bolts on the side of Pink House. The Great Shake of August 31, 1886, was one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded on the East Coast. Much of Charleston was left in ruins. During rebuilding, many of the brick structures were stabilized with iron rods secured on the outside walls by gib plates. Though the jury’s out on the hardware’s effectiveness, they remain a treasured element of The Holy City architecture Throughout the years, the house has been used as a tavern + brothel, a law office, an art gallery & now a private residence. A combination of the pink exterior, original gambrel tiled roof, + the cobblestone road upon which it sits, helps make the unique abode a beloved location for tourists, artists, + photographers.
