This house was built in 1820. A three story brick double house, two entrances on different streets since there was much more open space at the time.
The same family lived here for almost two centuries, it’s currently owned by the Historic Charleston Foundation. The property was listed on the National Historic Registry in 1997.
These buildings have been maintained in the same condition as of 1850. All original, no renovations, and best of all…you can wander around on your own.

Wow, impressed they just let you wander around there, a lot of places are becoming so sterile now it isn’t worth going to
Here too. We have a good many museum / foundation owned properties but usually they want guides to walk you through. We are lucky to have been here for a while now and they ‘cut us some slack’ in places. I guess we are officially locals LOL.
Love those massive doors – hurricane doors, they would be, here.
Yes, and actually many are tall windows too. One on each side of the house, cross ventilation facing the ocean. 😃
