South of Broad, Charleston, South Carolina, USA

The area South of Broad Street at the tip of the Charleston Peninsula is one of the more beautiful residential neighborhoods in urban America. The elegant architecture spans the entire range of American history. You can see Georgian gables,  Adamesque staircases and moldings, Greek Revival columns and parapets,  Italianate arches, cornices, and decorative Victorian turrets and chimneys. The live oaks dripping moss, the sculpted gardens, and the picturesque street scenes display a timelessness that makes Charleston a special city in which to wander around.
