Synopsis
“Charleston is a construction of sights and sounds, taste and smells, and texture. A blaze of azalea blossoms. A cobbling of cobblestones, and a patch of peeling stucco.”
Charleston is a city of pleasures. And highlighting those quaint and gentle pleasures is the happy purpose of this volume – appropriately titled Charleston.

From the Inside Flap
William Baldwin, award-winning novelist and historian, and renowned architectural photographer, N. Jane Iseley, know and love the South Carolina Lowcountry and its centerpiece city, and this intimacy comes shining through on every page. Charleston is ancient, but the photographs are fresh, the details telling, and the colors disarming. And the accompanying text is rich in historical and romantic certainties and attentive to the matters of living. You ll find the expected here the stunning beauty of the South Battery and the classical grandeur of Hibernian Hall. These are gardens and gates, churches and the Old World streetscapes scenes of the familiar. But there are overlooked treasures as well a golden corridor of the Aiken-Rhett slave quarters and the beshadoweded baptismal font of St. Michael s Church. Come along. You re invited in.
