Architectural Marvel, From 1808

Architectural Marvel, From 1808

The planters and traders of pre Civil War in Charleston spent fortunes on their homes. We had only been a country for thirty years yet international trade was enormous.

Most all of the towns manors and homes had one thing in common, grandiose staircases and entrances. The first thing a visitor saw.

The photographs below are of stairs, three stories high, circular, and they float free from the walls. An impressive creation in 1808.
