Copyright © 2009 Kaminski House Museum, City of Georgetown, SC. All Right s Reserved. The Stewart-Parker House was built by Robert Stewart around 1740.  The house was originally constructed as a Georgian style brick house with fifteen-inch thick walls.  After Mr. Stewart’s death the house and property was sold in 1787 to Daniel Tucker, a very wealthy merchant.  It is local tradition that Mr. Tucker entertained George Washington in this house during his tour of the South in 1791. Mr. Tucker made many changes to the building.  Changing the building’s style from Georgian to Federal style by adding the stucco to the brick exterior and the semi-circular rooms on the street-side of the house.  It is believed that the decorative molding in the entrance hall and southern parlor was also added at this time.  Benjamin Allston Sr. purchased the property some time after 1825.  Benjamin Allston is the great-great- grandfather to Julia Pyatt Kaminski, the last owner of the Kaminski House Museum.  In the beginning of the 20th Century, the house was passed into the Parker family, through marriage.  The house remained in the Parker family until it was sold to the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Georgetown (later Carolina First) in 1979. Carolina First gave the house to the Parker-Stewart House Foundation in 2001, which then leased it to the City of Georgetown in 2002.  The ownership of the house passed to the Colonial Dames of South Carolina in 2006.  Today, the second floor of the House is used for offices, while the first floor is available for weddings, meetings and events.  The furnishings in the Stewart Parker house are reproductions.  It is not known what the original furnishings were.  Stewart Parker House
