Pass By: William Washington House, 8 S Battery St, Charleston, SC 29401, USA

The William Washington House is a pre-Revolutionary house at 8 South Battery and is the only pre-Revolutionary house on Charleston's Battery. Thomas Savage bought the lot at the southwest corner of Church St. and South Battery in 1768 and built his house there. The resulting structure is a nationally important, Georgian style, square, wooden, two-story house on a high foundation.

In December 1785, Revolutionary War hero William Washington purchased the house. He and his wife remained until his death in 1810. His widow remained until her own death in 1830, when it passed to her daughter Jane, wife of James H. Ancrum. Since 1916, the house has remained in the family of Julian Mitchell.

Pass By: Rainbow Row, 79 E Bay St # 107, Charleston, SC 29401-2544

Rainbow Row is the name for a series of thirteen colorful historic houses in Charleston, South Carolina. It represents the longest cluster of Georgian row houses in the United States. The houses are located north of Tradd St. and south of Elliott St. on East Bay Street, that is, 79 to 107 East Bay Street. The name Rainbow Row was coined after the pastel colors they were painted as they were restored in the 1930s and 1940s.

Pass By: Charleston City Market, 188 Meeting St, Charleston, SC 29401-3155

The City Market is a historic market complex in downtown Charleston, South Carolina. Established in the 1790s, the market stretches for four city blocks from the architecturally-significant Market Hall, which faces Meeting Street, through a continuous series of one-story market sheds, the last of which terminates at East Bay Street. The Market Hall has been described as a building of the "highest architectural design quality." The entire complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Market Hall and Sheds and was further designated a National Historic Landmark.

Pass By: Colonel William Rhett House, 54 Hasell St, Charleston, SC 29401, USA

The Col. William Rhett House is a historic, stuccoed brick two-story home at 54 Hasell St., Charleston, South Carolina. It was built in 1712 as the main house for Point Plantation later known as Rhettsbury, lying outside the walled city's limits by Col. William Rhett. The plantation was later folded into the historic Ansonborough neighborhood.

After his death in 1722, the house remained in his family until 1807 when it was bought by Christopher Fitzsimons. Mr. Fitzsimon's grandson Gov. Wade Hampton was born in the house. In the 1940s, the house was bought by Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Kittredge, the creators of Cypress Gardens near Moncks Corner, South Carolina. The Kittredges added the eastern set of stairs to the front of their house to match the original set on the opposite side of the house.
