These beautiful gates, and the rest, can be found on Legare Street. Legare, pronoucned “Luh Gree,” is home to some of the most memorable houses in Charleston.
Changing with the Times
The house with this pretty entrance on Lamboll Street was erected in 1820 and now has three front facing porches. Originally built as a simple Charleston single house, the porches were added about 30 years later completely changing its look and style.
Honoring America
Honoring all those who have served the United States of America in the armed forces… the beautiful flag display on Lockwood Boulevard.
Memorable Iron
The ironwork along the top of the wall in front the of the Miles Brewton House on King Street is perhaps the most visible and significant example of chevaux de frise iron in Charleston. Scary.
Charleston Beauty
Eye-catching beauty, from small to big, can be found all over Charleston. While this flower box and window may represent a smaller amount, the black disk on the wall indicates something larger. The Carolopolis Award, as represented by the disk, has been bestowed for over 63 years by the Preservation Society of Charleston on properties that have achieved excellence in historic preservation. Look around the city and you will find over 1400 of these symbols.
Turn of the Century
While relatively new by downtown Charleston standards, this 1908 house on Lamboll Street holds its own with some of its neighbors.
Just Another Charleston House
This antebellum house on Limehouse Street (c.1856) was built by William Shingler, and then sold shortly thereafter due to his wife dying and a weak cotton market (he was a cotton factor). But, since he apparently knew what he liked, within the next year he began to build a similar house across the street and married his former wife’s sister.
Allan Park
One of the smallest parks in Charleston, Allan Park is on land that was donated to the city by Mrs. Amey Allan — the widow of James Allan who developed most of the eastern half of Hampton Park Terrace.
Cozy Charleston
This picturesque little structure is tucked off Tradd Street, which is one of the few streets that runs completely from one side of the peninsula to the other.
Good Morning, Charleston
A glorious Charleston sunrise. Directly to the left of this fence is the Capt. James Missroon House, that now is home to the Historic Charleston Foundation. One of the most interesting things about the building is that it was a house that was built around — and engulfed — a smaller house.
