Description
Black and white photo of historic houses on Cabbage Row in Charleston South Carolina, USA. Church Street house.
Cabbage Row, located in historic downtown Charleston, South Carolina, is a charming, unique set of homes that are as much a part of the city’s lore as its iconic cobblestones and graceful, centuries-old architecture.
Dating all the way back to 1712, the row of residences on Cabbage Row are some of the oldest homes in the city, having survived changing tides of fashion and tumultuous cycles of growth and destruction over the years.
When you walk along the street, it’s easy to imagine what it must have been like in colonial Charleston, when each house was a cozy haven high above the hustle and bustle of the bustling harbor below.
The old-world charm of the buildings themselves is matched only by the gardens between them, with lush blooms of pinks, blues, and yellows providing a picturesque backdrop. In recent years,
Cabbage Row has been restored to its former glory. An independent non-profit organization now takes care of the preservation efforts for these unique homes, ensuring their continued beauty for generations to come.
They also offer occasional tours of the properties, allowing visitors to get a closer look at Charleston’s unique architectural history. Today, Cabbage Row is as much a part of Charleston’s identity as its cobblestone streets and iconic rainbow row homes.
Its traditional charm is a testament to the city’s resiliency and strength, even in the face of ever-changing times. It’s a reminder of how much our city has changed in the last two centuries, while still retaining its timeless appeal.
