Maiden Lane

Charleston has eight active cobblestone streets, most of which are near the old wharf area. Just one block long, this is Maiden Lane — a bit further north and away from the water.

This beautiful house on Hassell Street, with its gorgeous gate/fence and piazza, was built in 1846. Since 1920, it has served as the rectory of St. Johannes St. Lutheran Church — which is directly next door.

Lodge Alley

Lodge Alley, one of Charleston’s oldest streets, dates back to the 1730’s. It was renamed in 1773 after the Masonic Lodge that was built along its length.

White Point Garden

The corner of White Point Garden at the corner of King Street and South Battery. Not White Point Gardens, not Battery Park. White Point Garden — no “s.”

Ashley Sunset

Another beautiful Charleston sunset, as seen along the Ashley River. If you continue downstream, the Ashley runs into the Cooper River. And according to Charleston lore they then join to form the mighty Atlantic Ocean 🙂

Sunrise at Waterfront Park

One of the beautiful fountains at Waterfront Park. From there you have a wonderful view of Charleston Harbor — including Fort Sumter seen in the distance.

Welcome

This attractive and welcoming door can be found on Rutledge Avenue, just down from Cannon Park — where you can find the four remaining front columns of the old Charleston Museum.

What a Door

A beautiful door on a significant circa 1853 house on Rutledge Avenue, located directly across the street from the Issac Jenkins Mikell House (which is currently often seen on TV on Southern Charm).

Framed

This beautiful house (now being used as an office) on Broad Street holds the distinction of being the oldest frame structure in Charleston. It was built before 1715!

John Rutledge House

The John Rutledge House, now an inn, was completed in 1763. Rutledge, among his many roles in South Carolina and the US, was one of the signers of the United States Constitution.
