The building in which the Anchorage Inn is located at 26 Vendue Range, carries a history rife with fortunes being made and lost in the 1800s as a once a bustling cotton warehouse in the old days of the south. Following the decline of the southern cotton industry, the warehouse was left empty for some time until the building was given new albeit short-lived identity as a brokerage firm in the 1950s. Another renaissance for the structure came in 1991 when the doors reopened as the Anchorage Inn and the building was transformed in its most recent renovation in 2006 to update the intimate, stately venue for guests who prefer to anchor in the hub of Charleston's activity.
