Edward Rutledge House, Historic residence in Charleston, United States
The Edward Rutledge House at 117 Broad Street features a two-story Charleston double house design with hip roof and clapboard siding.
Built in 1760 by James Laurens, the house became home to Edward Rutledge, who signed the Declaration of Independence and served as South Carolina Governor.
The building exemplifies Georgian architectural characteristics with its central gable, pedimented roof, transom window, and symmetrical arrangement of elements.
The property currently operates as a bed and breakfast establishment, allowing visitors to stay within a structure designated as a National Historic Landmark.
During the British occupation of Charleston in 1780, Rutledge was arrested and held in the Provost Dungeon before being transferred to St. Augustine.
