Made with high quality Tin sign , size 8×12 in. with 4 predrilled small holes on the corns
Location: 17 Chalmers Street, Charleston, SC
Built: Around 1694–1712 (scholars debate the exact year).
Material: Constructed from Bermuda stone, a rare coral limestone imported from the Caribbean. The natural pinkish hue of the stone gives the house its name.
Early Years: Believed to have been a tavern serving sailors and merchants in the bustling port city.
18th–19th Century: Used variously as a tavern, residence, and business.
20th Century: Became a studio for artists and writers, including the Charleston Renaissance painter Alice Ravenel Huger Smith.
Considered one of the oldest buildings in Charleston (possibly the oldest surviving tavern structure in the South).
Its architecture reflects medieval Bermuda styles—steep tile roof, thick stone walls, and small windows.
Today it’s a private property but remains a highly photographed landmark on cobblestoned Chalmers Street, in the French Quarter.
