Vastly expanded by Governor and Mrs. William Aiken, Jr. in the 1830s and again in the 1850s, the house and its outbuildings include a kitchen, laundry, carriage block and the original quarters for the enslaved people. The house and its surviving furnishings offer a compelling portrait of urban life in antebellum Charleston, as well as a politician, industrialist, planter and enslaver. The house spent 142 years in the Aiken family’s hands before being sold to The Charleston Museum and opened as a house museum in 1975.
