Georgetown, South Carolina's third oldest city, contains the Stewart-Parker house, built in 1740.
George Washington had tea here during his southern tour in 1791. Sometime after the president's
visit a new addition was put on the street side of house including these semi circular rooms.
This side is a marvelous dining room!
The house now is used for weddings and other special events.
What a beautiful home. I love the rounded additions on either side. Enjoy the day!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great house. Love the round room. So many possibilities - and of course I like the porch (which isn't round, but I love porches!) :-) I follow you via Feedly.
ReplyDeleteA nice old home, but wonder why they chose the half round shape for the addition. It is unique though. I remember seeing a round house years ago and would have loved to see the inside. Two stories and totally round from the outside!

It's a very beautiful building, and so well maitained. I always feel close to history when I visit a place where President Washington once visited.

I've always loved houses with unusual rooms - and a round room would be a treat!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful home! I have always loved round rooms!
ReplyDeleteWhen is your new grandbaby due, Dotsie? Soon, I think. Our little Katie is still in the NICU - her score is too low, so they are going to keep her there for at least another week. I just keep whispering loving thoughts to her across the miles.
Happy Spring, dear friend!
