Robert Barnwell Rhett House was the home of Robert Barnwell Rhett, an extreme secessionist politician. He opposed John C. Calhoun to lead the Bluffton Movement for separate state action on the Tariff of 1842. Rhett was one of the leading fire-eaters at the Nashville Convention of 1850, which failed to endorse his aim of secession.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973.[2][3]
