McCrady's Tavern and Long Room
McCrady's Tavern and Long Room, Historic tavern complex in downtown Charleston, United States
The rectangular brick building features three stories, a slate roof, and a cellar, with the Long Room occupying most of the second story.
Edward McCrady, a barber and Revolutionary War veteran, purchased the tavern in 1778 and expanded it over the following decade to include the Long Room.
The Society of Cincinnati hosted a 30-course banquet for President George Washington in 1791, attended by South Carolina's governor and Charleston's mayor.
The property at 153 East Bay Street functioned as a tavern, coffee house, warehouse, and paper company throughout different periods of its existence.
Among Charleston's numerous colonial-era taverns with long rooms for social gatherings, McCrady's remains the only surviving example of this architectural style.
