Balcony House

The original design of this landmark house is a transplant of late-18th-century southeast American architecture. The pink, two-story structure is named for its overhanging and much photographed balcony. Restored in the 1990s, the House has been returned to its original design, recapturing a historic period. The mahogany staircase inside was thought to have been salvaged from a wrecked ship in the 1800s. You visit the house on a guided tour.

Open: Mon-Wed and Fri 10am-4:30pm; Thurs 10am-1pm.Free admission but donation advised.
