About
Built in 1771 and sheathed with a layer of pink stucco, this house has functioned as a private home, a bank, a tearoom, and headquarters for one of Sherman's generals. Today its interior is severe and dignified, with stiff-backed chairs, bare wooden floors, and an 18th-century aura similar to what you'd find in Williamsburg, Virginia. In 2008, a renovation and enlargement added the Planters Tavern, within an antique cellar room outfitted with a generously proportioned bar. Richly steeped in the traditions of the Low Country, its cuisine includes sautéed local shrimp with country ham and grits cake, crispy scored flounder with apricot sauce, steak au poivre, black grouper stuffed with blue crab and drenched in white onion and butter sauce, and grilled tenderloin of pork served with collard greens and yams. You can enjoy your meal in the rather formal and Spartan-looking candlelit dining rooms or within the more permissive, less-formal decor of Planters Tavern.
