Wow Charleston is Pretty

Charleston has some amazing architecture.  Here is a sample.
.
There is a "Charleston House" which is prevalent in most of the city.  It is a two (sometimes three) story building with a front door on the street.   Once you go through the door, each floor is divided into two main rooms, front and back.  In between a bathroom and/or stairs.  They used to be single family homes, although many have now be updated to apartments - particularly around Charleston University.
Two typical "Charleston Homes"
.
Same idea, but rehab'ed and mondernized.

"South of Broad St." are some gorgeous antebellum mansions / homes that are stunning.  I am putting quite a few pictures here, because they were so nice.  I will put more on facebook if you are interested in looking.

 And then there commercial areas area mix of antebellum and art deco that is very nice.
