OVERVIEW

Built around 1820 and expanded by Governor William Aiken Jr., this Elizabeth Street mansion survives largely as it was in the 1850s, including its warehouse, stables, and rare intact quarters for the people the Aikens enslaved. It is preserved "as found" by the Historic Charleston Foundation.

REPORTED ACTIVITY

Visitors and staff have reported footsteps in empty rooms, cold spots, and a figure of a woman in the main house; some accounts describe a sense of presence in the work yard and servants' quarters.

VISITING

Open to the public as a preserved house museum.
