Charleston’s Original Ghost Artist

The most fashionable place for an evening stroll in the late 1730's was the Bay, now known as East Bay. On East Bay Street stands a group of houses known as Rainbow Row. This lower East Bay neighborhood was once the city's heartbeat and is one of its oldest neighborhoods, having been settled in the late 1670's. Rainbow Row was once the scene of much commercial activity. For generations, it was inhabited by rich merchants, who imported their goods from Europe. Often, they would have their shops on the ground floor while their living quarters were upstairs.

After 1860, for nearly 20 years, the blight of the disastrous civil war and the resulting unrest halted development and destroyed much, leaving this symbol of Charleston’s History in disrepair. In the 1930s and 1940s, Rainbow Row underwent renovation and revitalization. House by house they were made over into one of the city’s most iconic tourist spots.

Rainbow Row is one of Charleston’s most iconic and photographed landmarks, located along East Bay Street in the city’s historic district. This charming stretch consists of 13 colorful Georgian-style row houses, painted in a cheerful palette of pastel pinks, blues, greens, and yellows. The vivid colors, added during restorations in the 1930s and 1940s, reflect the colors of a fleeting rainbow.
