Glimpses of Charleston

A local's eye view

This beautiful house on Tradd Street was built between 1834-36. Before the marsh was filled in to extend the Charleston peninsula, this was waterfront property. During the Civil War, a torpedo boat (which looks a lot like a small submarine) became stranded and then abandoned there. It is believed that its remains are still under Tradd Street in front of this house! You can see a photo of it here. So cool.
