The Heyward-Washington House: Rice planter Daniel Heyward built the house in 1772 for his son,Thomas Heyward, Jr., who became a patriot leader and was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. In May 1791, the City of Charleston rented the house for use by George Washington during his week-long stay, and thus the house became traditionally known as the “Heyward-Washington House."
Our guide stated that this piece of furniture was worth in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
This piece was a companion to the above piece. Not nearly worth as much, but still a very nice piece.
