Barnwell-Gough House
Barnwell-Gough House, Historic residence in Beaufort, United States
The Barnwell-Gough House features a three-story white clapboard design with a wide two-story portico and slender classical columns arranged across the front veranda.
Built in 1789, the house became the childhood home of Robert Barnwell Rhett, who later emerged as a leading advocate for Southern states' separation from the Union.
The construction incorporated tabby, a regional building material combining oyster shells, lime, water, sand, and ash, covered with protective stucco layers.
Located at 705 Washington Street within the Beaufort Historic District, the property spans 9.9 acres and received National Register status in November 1972.
The house contains three distinct bays with a central entrance and maintains its original Federal architectural style from the late 18th century.
