Charlotte Street

Charlotte Street

  

Stretching from the Cooper River to Wragg Park, this quiet street encompasses several architectural styles, built in the transitional period between revolutionary to civil wars. From the Mazyck’s to the Wragg’s, Adamasque to greek revival, revolutionary to the civil, Flemish to English common bond, these slate sidewalks and Carolopolis award winners testify to Charleston’s commitment to preservation.  


Citadel

Citadel

This military college plays a prominent role from its’ inception in 1842, originally located in downtown Charleston’s Marian Square.

Folly Beach Pier

Folly Beach Pier

 Although under a much-needed renovation, this was once the south’s premier, beach amusement destination.

Morris Island Lighthouse

Morris Island Lighthouse

Travel to the edge of Folly Island for a up close and personal view of the Morris Island lighthouse.
