| 67 Rutledge Ave., Charleston, S.C. |
One of my favorite houses on Rutledge Ave. is the Annual Designer Showhouse for the Charleston Symphony League this year. Hmmm.....should I break down and buy a ticket to see inside? Each room is decorated by a different designer.
The house features heart pine floors, etched glass windows, 10
fireplaces, a copper bathtub, and some of the first indoor plumbing in
Charleston. It includes a dependency that once housed a stable and
carriage house, wash house, school room and kitchen. Now, this property
has been transformed into a showcase by some of the Lowcountry’s most
talented interior designers.
From March 20 through April 19, the public will be invited to view
their work from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, and from 1-4 p.m. on Sundays.
Along with an exclusive boutique, and sales from designers’ rooms,
guests can enjoy alfresco dining in the “Secret Garden” from 11:30 a.m.
to 2 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Now in its 37th year, the League’s Designer Showhouse has been a
major fundraising event for the Charleston Symphony Orchestra and for
student scholarships that total more than $30,000 annually.
Showhouse tickets are $20 at the door. For further information, please call (843) 723-0020 or write

Are you allowed to take pictures inside? If yes, then you definitely should break down.
The Post & Courier does have an album but that is a good question. I don't know if photos are allowed.

That's a very distinctive looking place, Joan. Very Southern.
Go for it.
Lovely house. I'd spend the 20.
Oooooh, this is a beauty. How can you not go?
