Amazing Architecture in Charleston

The sea wall that holds the Atlantic back from washing away much of the city.



Built in 1761, St. Michael's Episcopal Church has had George Washington and Robert E. Lee worship inside. Charleston is called the Holy City because it has so many churches (186) in just the historic district. the colony was religiously free allowing many types of faith to settle and worship here.










The three sisters houses. Built for three homely sisters by their father to entice someone into marrying them. Apparently they all died single, but lived in lovely homes.





My favorite building and one of the oldest. Dating back to the 1600's where this building was a tavern and inn housing pirates and supposedly even Blackbeard.
