The Cannonboro Inn was built in 1853 by William Lucas. It is a Charleston single house built in the Victorian style of architecture. Mr. Lucas, a wealthy rice planter, was married to Charlotte Hune and they parented 10 children.

The property changed hands several times since 1853 and was converted to a boarding house in the early 1980s.

Bud and Sally Allen purchased the property which was in much disrepair in 1990. Bud's skills as a builder, and Sally's as a decorator came together to create a beautiful, warm and inviting Bed and Breakfast. They completely restored the house, inside and out, installed new gardens and added brick walks, a fishpond and fountain.

The restoration took over a year and even though the home had suffered severely from lack of maintenance, most of the original plaster medallions, plaster crown moldings and beautiful heart pine floors were retained and restored to their original state.
