Col. William Rhett House, Colonial residence in Charleston, United States.
The Col. William Rhett House stands as a two-story stuccoed brick structure at 54 Hasell Street, featuring symmetrical front staircases and traditional colonial design elements.
Built between 1712 and 1720 as the main house of Point Plantation, the residence became the base for Colonel William Rhett, who captured the notorious pirate Stede Bonnet.
The house represents early 18th-century architectural patterns of South Carolina, documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey under reference HABS SC-171.
Located in the Ansonborough district, the property maintains its residential status and stands near multiple historical landmarks of downtown Charleston.
Governor Wade Hampton, who later served as a United States Senator, was born in this house after Christopher Fitzsimmons purchased it in 1807.
