Charles Pinckney House

The Charles Pinckney House is an 18th-century house at 7 Orange Street, Charleston, South Carolina. Alexander Petrie bought the lot in 1747 and constructed the current 2 1/2 story house on a high basement sometime before 1770. The mantels and woodworking are original, but other features including floors and large sliding doors to the parlors date to the early 19th century.[1]
