Local Connections: The Architecture Of Charleston Walking Tour with Expert Guide

Charleston is renowned for its elegance, and its architecture reflects its prosperity through the ages. Meet your local expert guide, Sarah Fick, and embark on a scenic walking tour that focuses on the city's wonderfully diverse architecture as well as its history, culture and preservation efforts. Charleston was established more than 300 years ago and was the wealthiest city of the American colonies. The city streets were first laid out in 1680 on the "Grand Modell," a plan sent from London, and its residents showcased their fortunes in both their homes and civic structures. The result is a wonderful juxtaposition of magnificent public buildings and churches from Georgian to art deco, still standing as a testament to the skill of the city's architects and builders. Pause for photos along the way and delight in Fick's informative and very entertaining narrative. Return to port with a deeper appreciation of Charleston and a camera filled with memories.
