Some of Charleston’s most stately, antebellum residences can be found along the city’s beautiful waterfront promenade, known as The Battery. Most of the houses here were developed as the city began to expand beyond its original walls at the height of Charleston’s prominence as a major world port. From the rooftops and piazzas of these grand houses, Charlestonians watched the firing on Fort Sumter that began the Civil War in 1861. These residences have withstood nearly two centuries of artillery bombardment, great hurricanes, and military occupation to remain among the city’s most beautiful monuments to its history today.
