Join us on the Historic Homes of Charleston Tour for a leisurely stroll along the timeworn streets of Charleston's Historic District. As you explore the architecture and flora in the "South of Broad" residential district, our expert guides will highlight the most colorful stories of the Charlestonians who have lived in these majestic southern homes.
Along the way we will visit and enjoy interior tours of two homes, either the Edmondston-Alston House (c.1825), the Nathaniel Russell House (c.1808) or the Thomas Elfe House. The beautiful Edmondston-Alston House (c.1825) overlooks the famous "High Battery" and Charleston Harbor. The Edmondston-Alston House is a repository of family treasures that remain in place much as they have been for over a century and a half.
The Elfe House, a pre-Revolutionary War period Georgian-style single house was built by Thomas Elfe, one of Charleston's most prolific and acclaimed cabinetmakers.
Via the canopied streets and hidden alleys of Charleston's most exclusive residential neighborhoods, we also visit the Nathaniel Russell House (c.1808). The graceful interior with elaborate plasterwork ornamentation, geometrically shaped rooms and a magnificent free-flying staircase are among the most exuberant ever created in early America.
