The array of mansions in Charleston SC speaks the wealth and power that this little southern charmer once enjoyed. Built on the back of slave labor, local plantation owners and merchants amassed huge fortunes, built huge homes and left a bitter sweet legacy. Once the wealthiest city in America, Charleston's historic homes are a joy to see and visit.
Today tourists to the area can enjoy both the history and the modern lively society that is Charleston, SC. The many of the historic homes in downtown have been purchased by wealthy families from outside the area. Most have been restored with modern amenities, and some have been partitioned to become condominiums.
Perhaps the one of the best days out for a visitor to Charleston, SC is to wander the streets and take in the sights. Each home is unique and interesting.
