The solid construction of the house has allowed it to withstand hurricanes, storms, the earthquake of 1886 (note the lion's head earthquake bolts), and the Civil War. A 500 pound fragment of Confederate cannon still rests in the roof beams.

The Aiken-Rhett House Museum, 48 Elizabeth Street, c. 1820, is unique in many ways. For example, it remained in the hands of family descendents for 142 years until it was sold to The Charleston Museum and opened as a museum house in 1975. Historic Charleston Foundation purchased the house in 1995 and adopted a conservation approach to the interpretation of this important house and its outbuildings.
