Twenty-seven George Street was built in 1778, just one year prior to the Revolutionary Wars shifting into South Carolina. Twenty-seven George Street served as the townhouse for the Barksdale family when they were not at their country residence, Youghall Plantation. The Barksdale family was very active in the thriving city life of Charleston.

In May of 1817, Georges nephew and then owner, Thomas Barksdale sold the townhouse. From that time on the house had numerous owners and occupants. The 1980s found the house unoccupied and in a state of disrepair until its meticulous restoration in 1985 by Robert and Suzanne Chesnut. Now it is Charleston's most elegant yet intimate inn.
