Description
Circa 1763. John Rutledge, first governor of South Carolina, Supreme Court Justice, and an author and signer of the Constitution of the United States, wrote first drafts of the document in the stately ballroom of his Charleston home. In 1791 George Washington dined in this same room. Both men would be amazed by the house's recent restoration, which includes three lavish suites with elaborately carved Italian marble fireplaces, personal refrigerators, spas, air conditioning and televisions along with fine antiques and reproductions. Exterior ironwork on the house was designed in the 19th century and features palmetto trees and American eagles to honor Mr. Rutledge's service to the state and country.Publicity and Awards: Innsider, Colonial Homes, New York Times, Southern Living, Southern Accents, Gourmet, Bon Appetit, Conde Naste Traveler 2012 Reader's Choice Awards, Deadly Pursuit, NBC.Location: City/Urban.
