Entrance, Aiken-Rhett House, 48 Elizabeth Street, Charleston, SC

Built by merchant John Robinson in 1820, the house was acquired and altered internally by John Aiken Jr in the 1830s. The entry was moved from Judith Street to Elizabeth Street and a new entrance foyer was created at the west end of the house. This doorway was, presumably, added at that time.

In addition to the main house, the complex includes the original outbuildings (kitchen, slave quarters, carriage block). It is now a house museum owned by the Historic Charleston Foundation and is regarded as "the best-preserved complex of antebellum domestic structures left in the city." (Jonathan H. Poston, The Buildings of Charleston, 1997).
