When I work in B&W my first inclination is the old houses in Charleston. This house was completed only 20 years after the US Revolution. It shouts out ‘Money’.
The plantation economy created so much wealth some people in Charleston couldn’t spend enough. The manor houses competed with each other for attention.

Two things all the big homes had in common were intricate chandeliers and grand sweeping stair cases.


What more could a photographer want !
Wow!! What a house ๐๐
The outside hides how it is designed. Brick had been used in Charleston for a long time so itโs almost like two different houses. We have wet, hot weather which means bugs that eat wood houses. Also fire was common, brick houses donโt burn very well. ๐๐
Ohh ๐ฎ so if someone goes inside, they are in for some surprise ๐
