Street Tours

Often called "the most romantic street in America," Church Street is a visible record of Charleston's history from Colonial dwellings to Georgian gardens and historic churches. 

Impressive 19th century villas were the nucleus of this neighborhood, inhabited by wealthy Charlestonians seeking suburban residences. Numerous charming Victorian dwellings were added in the late 1800s. 

South Battery Street is home to some of Charleston's most beautiful postbellum era mansions including 20th century waterfront homes that overlook White Point Gardens and Charleston Harbor. 

Although North of Broad, Anson Street's antebellum houses boast Regency and Greek Revival details and were built in the years between the Great Fire of 1838 and the outbreak of the Civil War. 

Along East Bay Street, colorful 18th century dwellings  intermingle with grand antebellum mansions. Panoramic views of the Charleston Harbor along the High Battery further enhance the area.

Said to be named after the first child of European descent born in Charles Town, this street and neighborhood contain a fascinating collection of some of the earliest homes in the city.

By the turn of the 19th century, planters and well-to-do merchants were building grand residencies in this suburban area. Along Rutledge Avenue there are some of the finest examples of Federal, Regency, Greek Revival and early Victorian architecture in the city. 

Broad Street is one of the most recognizable streets in Charleston. Landmark civic buildings mingle with charming early homes in this part of Charleston's historic neighborhoods.
