Heyward-Washington House
Heyward-Washington House, Georgian mansion in Charleston, United States
The three-story brick house features four chambers on the first floor, a drawing room with smaller withdrawing spaces, and additional rooms upstairs.
Thomas Heyward Jr, who signed the Declaration of Independence, constructed this residence in 1772 and later hosted President George Washington in 1791.
The residence displays a collection of Charleston-made furniture, including the Holmes Bookcase, representing colonial craftsmanship from South Carolina.
The museum opens Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 5 PM and Sundays from noon to 5 PM, with final audio tours starting at 4:15 PM.
The property contains the only 1740s public kitchen building accessible to visitors in Charleston, along with period-accurate gardens from the 18th century.
