This urban slave quarters was built around 1820 in Charleston, South Carolina, and shares some similarities with the slave quarters at Decatur House. The structure sits along the perimeter of the property and is adjacent to the main house. The kitchen, laundry, and additional workspaces were located on the first floor, and private rooms on the second floor. However, there are some key differences. For example, the doors and windows at Aiken-Rhett all face the interior courtyard and the backside of the building has none; Decatur House has these on both sides. Additionally, the chimneys and staircases were in different spaces.
