Rainbow Row is the name for a row of thirteen colorful historic houses in Charleston. It is the longest cluster of Georgian row houses in the United States. These homes were built in the mid 18th century. The houses, spanning from 79 to 107 East Bay Street, are named so after the bright pastel colors they were painted during their restoration process in the 1930s and the 1940s. Dating back to 1740, the Rainbow Row is situated near the historic waterfront of the city. As the houses were being restored in the 1930s and 1940s they were painted with pastel colors, therefore the name "Rainbow Row.
Today, Rainbow Row consists of 14 private residences that are part of one of the most famous architectural landmarks in Charleston. It is considered to be the most photographed area of historic Charleston.
