Rainbow Row, Georgian row houses in East Bay Street, Charleston, United States.
Thirteen connected houses painted in varied pastel colors form a continuous line along East Bay Street between Tradd Street and Elliott Street.
The houses served as merchant shops with ground-floor stores and residential quarters above, constructed around 1740 near the Cooper River waterfront.
Dorothy Porcher Legge initiated the restoration movement in 1931 by painting her section pink, inspiring neighboring owners to follow with different pastel colors.
Visitors can photograph the exterior of these residential buildings at any time, with optimal lighting conditions during morning and late afternoon hours.
Each residence maintains individual characteristics, such as the Victorian storefront at number 105 and Chinese Chippendale details at number 85.
