Allee, Allee

A beautiful live oak allee, or alley, at Charlestowne Landing — with the Legare-Waring House at the end. Spectacular.

Chalmers Street is one of the eight cobblestone streets in Charleston. The combination of gorgeous old buildings, crepe myrtle trees and the cobblestones make it one of the most photographed in the city.

The Cooper River Bridge

The Arthur Ravenel, Jr. Bridge links Charleston to Mt. Pleasant. Many people who have lived in Charleston prior to its construction just call it the Cooper River Bridge, as its predecessors were referred to. Whatever you want to call it, it’s spectacular.

In-Spiring

The cornerstone for the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist on Broad Street was laid in 1890, but the construction of the church was not completed until 2010 — when the steeple was finally added.

St. Michael’s Framed

St. Michael’s steeple is one of the most prominent and picturesque in Charleston. At this angle, it is framed by some beautiful Italian Cypresses found in St. Michael’s Alley. While the congregation is not the oldest in Charleston, the church building itself is (built between 1752 and 1761).

Charleston Elegance

The beauty of this colonial era house and its wonderful flower boxes can be found on King Street.

Classic Charleston

A view along East Battery from the High Battery. Classic Charleston.

Early Charleston Evening

Early evening along Broad Street in Charleston. Lots of history and beautiful architecture.

Significant House

The Miles Brewton House on King Street is one of the most significant Georgian houses in the United States. During the American Revolution, the house served as a headquarters for the British. It’s striking ironwork is one of the notable remaining examples of chevaux de frise iron spikes remaining in Charleston.

Shutters

The blue shutters on a pre-Colonial era house on Tradd Street are some of my favorite in Charleston.
