SOUTH OF BROAD MASTERPIECE

Today we’re going to see an extraordinary home, the sort of dwelling that Charleston dreams are made of. Built in 1820, the 6,500-square-foot house served as the St. Michael’s rectory prior to being divided into apartments in the 1920s.

THIS SIDE OF PARADISE

There’s something special about a 1920s house; the architecture reflects the lighthearted attitude of the era, and we start to see hints of the practicality and modernism that were to come. Still, the way we live in our homes has changed drastically over the last century, and even the best 1920s house needs a rethink […]
