In An Old Charleston Home

There was no plan on these shots. They were taken while wandering through the house looking for my preferred wide landscape style shot.

I had photographed these rooms before which was why I passed by. What I hadn’t considered was how the ambient light had changed.

Charleston, South Carolina.

Old Music Room, Charleston

Many of the old wealthy planters homes in town had a music room. Most always there was a short piano, and a large harp.

Looks like the children all had a turn at learning to play a harp.

The first thing that came to me was…who tuned these things 😳

Yes, the room is curved. To add a little more depth there is a multi pane, floor to ceiling mirror. A room you don’t just walk in a snap a picture.

A Corner On Meeting Street, Charleston SC

One of the best ways to see Charleston and all of it’s history is to pick a street and take a walk. The town is on a peninsula and not all that big. You can’t get lost.

Important note though, be sure to have a camera. There’s ‘stuff’ everywhere. This day I picked Meeting Street one of the central streets.

The photographs were taken at the corner of Meeting and Tradd streets. I looked right, shot, looked left, shot.

Above is the house on my right, the Bradford-Horry house. Built in 1751 it has been added to the National Historic Registry for the homes unique architecture. The house has a piazza over a public street.

Next, a church was on the left side of the street. The First (Scots) Presbyterian Church. The Second Presbyterian Church is on the far side of town. Twelve Scottish residents left the Circular Church in 1731 to form this one. The two bell towers lost their bells during the US Civil War. When new bells were available the southern tower was found to be damaged from the 1886 earthquake. Only the north tower has bells now.

I had no intention of creating this long article when I started LOL. This is what happens when you take a camera for a walk around town. Oh yeah, the ‘Brown Dog Deli’ is just down the street. They have real Italian Hero sandwiches. Not something you find in the south and another good reason to pick the Meeting Street walk.
