Glimpses of Charleston

A local's eye view

This beautiful door, accessorized for the season, belongs to the Col. John Stuart House on Tradd Street -- a wonderful Colonial era house (c. 1767). Col. Stuart, a native born Scotsman, had been appointed Superintendent of Indian Affairs for the southern British colonies in 1762, but in 1775 had to flee Charleston for stirring up the Native Americans against the colonists in the early stages of the American Revolutionary War.
