Glimpses of Charleston

A local's eye view

How do you pronounce “Legare?”

asks Kay P. from Baltimore, MD…

One of the charms of Charleston and the Lowcountry is the specific regional pronunciations of various names. Legare — pronounced “Luh gree” — is a great example. This name can be spotted all over Charleston — from Legare Farms to the Legare Waring House to the fabulous Legare Street, which is home to some of the most spectacular houses in Charleston.
