Admiral Anson’s Arrival
George Anson was a young captain when he resided in Charleston for nine years. Between 1724 and 1735 he protected the Carolina coastline with three different warships: HMS Scarborough, HMS Garland, and HMS Squirrel.
Charleston’s First Suburb
Legend has it that George Anson acquired the land now called Ansonborough with the winnings from a poker game with Thomas Gadsden in 1727. This parcel of land became the first suburb in Charles Town.
The Ansonborough’s Beginning
The Ansonborough was built as a three-story stationer's warehouse. At one point it housed condominium units, which is why each guest room is uniquely shaped. These are some of the largest guest rooms in Charleston.
