Rainbow Row
Charleston's most photographed streetscape: a vibrant row of Georgian homes steeped in history
Rainbow Row
Stretching along East Bay Street in the heart of Charleston's historic district, Rainbow Row is a series of thirteen colorful Georgian row houses that date back to the 1740s. Originally used as merchant stores and residences, these pastel-painted homes have become one of the most iconic and photographed landmarks in the American South. A leisurely stroll past these candy-colored facades offers a window into Charleston's rich architectural heritage and the port city's storied past.
