CHALLENGE #12 – ANSWERED…

As several of you knew, the colorful row of buildings behind Carol Merrill is the famous “Rainbow Row” of Charleston, South Carolina. Rainbow Row is the longest grouping of Georgian row homes currently existing in the USA. Rainbow Row was mostly built in the mid 1700s and is located on East Bay Street. In 1778, a fire destroyed many of the original buildings. Rainbow Row is the surviving row homes following that fire. Following the fire, this area gradually went into a decline until the 1920s and 30s. At that point, this area began its come back. The homes were renovated, restored, and painted in the iconic pastel colors leading to the term Rainbow Row.
