The Thomas Rose House is a National Register property located at 59 Church St. in Charleston, South Carolina.[2][3] The 2 12-story stuccoed brick house was probably built by planter Thomas Rose in 1733. The property had been inherited by his wife, Beuler Elliott. The house has excellent examples of original Georgian woodwork in the paneling, staircase, and elsewhere. In the twentieth century an owner razed a neighboring house on the adjoining lot to the south to accommodate a large garden.
