This narrow walkway to the front door of 3 Meeting Street is easy to miss. But, as narrow as it may be, when you come out of the walkway and turn right you will be by White Point Garden and all its airy beauty.
Squeeze on In
Spring!
This beautiful spring scene is at the corner of Lamboll and King Streets.
Blooming Wisteria
The wisteria in Charleston is beautiful this year. You can find this batch on Water Street. Its house was built by Nathaniel Ingraham, a seaman who served with John Paul Johns (well, known for saying, “I have not yet begun to fight.”) on the famous Bon Homme Richard.
King Street Baskets
You can find these beautiful flower baskets on King Street. The house was built before 1739 and is one of the oldest remaining Charleston single houses.
Re-Creation
This photo is a re-creation of the cover show of the Glimpses of Charleston book! It’s so beautiful in the spring.
Wisteria
This wisteria puts on a show every year. The house it adorns was built c. 1800-1806 on Meeting Street. In 1824, it’s owners hosted the Marquis de Lafayette (a hero of both the American and French Revolutions), on his revisit to the United States.
Best Supporting Actor
This cool structure is actually the last reminder of the old Cooper River Bridges. It used to support the roadway, but is now more a standalone piece of art. You can find it next to the East Bay onramp to the new bridge.
South Battery Beauty
The Magwood-Moreland House on South Battery. Built c. 1825, it rests of a foundation of palmetto logs, which has given it the flexibility to weather earthquakes and hurricanes better than it might otherwise have.
Swingers
The great swings on the pier at Joseph Riley Waterfront Park are some of the most popular things in Charleston. They almost didn’t become reality after Hurricane Hugo struck Charleston in 1989 and tried to derail the creation of the park — which after a lot of work opened in 1990.
Morning on the Cooper
The beautiful Cooper River Bridge opened to traffic in 2005 at a cost of $632 million. It’s worth every penny!
