As you stroll Charleston, always stop and look up. The homes are often built tall and narrow - all the better to open windows and catch a sea breeze. There are a lot of balconies and gorgeous finishing to the roofs.
Oh, it's a money town. One can imagine the parties, the carriages pulling up to home, and folks decked in their finery stepping out to dance the night away.
We have to acknowledge the gardeners of Charleston. I wouldn't want to be responsible for the greenery upkeep.
Home tour - look up. There's always a chandelier
The Joseph Maginault home "in town". You had to have property/ plantation, and then your city home for entertaining during the high season.
Charleston keeps its history intact and up to date. Their historical society respects and maintains gorgeous properties.
After your tours, stop into one of the many restaurants that abound. Enjoy some very fresh seafood!
Hi Joanne - looks to be amazing ... as I said I'd love to visit to see the history and the present offerings ... unlikely - but who knows - enjoy the weekend - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteI can give you this armchair view. Glad you enjoyed the tour. Hot weekend ahead in TX. Hope yours is pleasant. Cheers!
DeleteThere is a lot of history in that city.
ReplyDeleteI was impressed with the Charleston Museum. The displays were top notch and they did not gloss over the enslaved aspects. Well done.
