The Heyward-Washington House in Charleston

The sisters flew over to this home built by Daniel Heyward, a wealthy rice plantation owner, for his son Thomas Heyward, Jr.. Built in 1772 as a town-house for the son who would be one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, this house was very fancy for its time. The first president of the United States, George Washington, rented the house for a week in May 1791 when he visied Charleston and so the house acquired a second name. Can you find the sisters at the front door?
