1800’s Architecture, Monochrome

October 27, 2021 Ted Jennings - TPJ Photography Leave a comment

I was hooked after the first old house we visited here, even before leaving New England.

The older buildings in Charleston have many of the same architects we know from the monuments and government buildings in Washington DC. There was wealth here before the US Civil War. Tiffany & Co. even had an office and designers in Charleston.

From 1800 until around 1862 the only thing left to spend money on was a person’s home. Make it grander than your neighbors. And they did.

All the photographs here are from a single home, Nathaniel Russell a merchant and trader (of enslaved people).

This is one of many buildings in town listed with National Historic Registry.

FYI, it’s not so easy now doing indoor shoots like these. Masks fog up everything.

Charleston, South Carolina.

Tagging along behind Ellen at one of ‘spots’ I grabbed a quick photograph of some locals.

Looked happy to see me.

Charleston, South Carolina.

Note; This photograph, as well as the three previous ones could have been combined as a single article. However, that would have taken planning.

Once again, just the right amount of light…

View Of First Scots Presbyterian Church

The staircase in Nathaniel Russell’s house (1808) has a clear view of the old First Scots Presbyterian Church (1814) and the graveyard.

Two of my favorite photography subjects, in the same shot.

Just not interested in the world right now, thank you.

Dinner would be along soon and it was all he cared about.

I finished this in B&W for a web site I work with, then decided to publish here too.

I’m sure color versions will make their way here. This was taken using a spot metering and fast shutter method. While it doesn’t work with all images a big white bird is a perfect subject.
