Dubose Heyward House, Historic landmark house in Church Street, Charleston, United States.
The two-story residence features stuccoed exterior walls, a tile roof, and French-doored sitting rooms with balconies overlooking a fountained courtyard.
DuBose Heyward resided in this house from 1919 to 1924, during which time he established the Poetry Society of South Carolina in 1920.
The house gained recognition as the place where DuBose Heyward wrote the novel 'Porgy', which later became the foundation for Gershwin's opera 'Porgy and Bess'.
The property maintains its original architectural elements while incorporating modifications to dining and bedroom spaces for enhanced functionality and visitor access.
George and Ira Gershwin spent time at this residence collaborating with DuBose Heyward on the transformation of his novel into an American opera.
