Beauty is in the details

Charleston's appeal is in part due to the historic architecture of its downtown neighborhoods. The extent of classic Georgia, Federal, Adamesque, Greek Revival, Italianate, and Victoria homes is  is featured block after block throughout the Charleston peninsula.

Along East Bay Street,  buildings range in origin from 1809 to 1920 and feature a variety of brick and stucco exteriors painted in a spectrum of pastels. Styles range from from Italian Renaissance Revival to Federal. The rooftops are supported by  Ionic and Tower-of-the-winds columns and pedimented pavillions.
