I'll be starting at the College of Charleston next year and I'd love to see some of the most beautiful houses on the premises. Could anyone possibly link me to some pictures or give me a few street names to look up?
You're in for quite a treat! The College of Charleston is nestled in Charleston's historic district, which is known for its picturesque and historic homes. While I can't link you to any photos, I can definitely provide a few suggestions on which streets to check out virtually or in-person.
1. King Street: This is one of the main streets in Charleston and is filled with historic homes, many of them beautifully restored to their original glory.
2. Meeting Street: Similar to King Street, Meeting Street runs the length of the downtown area and is peppered with grand old homes and gardens.
3. East Bay Street: This street is located near the water and you'll find a beautiful mix of restored homes dating back to different era with many homes painted in pastel shades.
4. Tradd Street: It is one of the oldest streets in the city! Many of the homes here are well-preserved and are a testament to Charleston's rich architectural history.
5. Rainbow Row: While not a street in itself, this series of thirteen brightly-colored houses is a must-see. They're located on East Bay Street and make for some excellent photo opportunities.
Like I said before, virtual exploring through a map service can give you a good taste of these locations. However, nothing replaces walking around the area in person if you get a chance, as the city's charm and the beauty of the houses is better felt and seen in person. Enjoy your time at College of Charleston and I hope you fall in love with the city's historic homes!
