This review is from: Charleston Architecture: 1670-1860 (Hardcover)
This boxed set of two beautiful cloth volumes is a masterly study of the historic Charleston building stock. I need to emphasize the "study" part of that statement because this book is intended for architectural historians and other researchers. This is not the kind of thing you put on your livingroom shelf for interior decorating or MLS photo shoots. It is NOT a coffee table book.The first volume contains the essays, and the second volume is the catalog of [sometimes very old] plates and photographs. Many of the buildings studied (houses, churches, courthouses, banks, schools, etc...) no longer stand. Mostly, people who buy this book will use it as a reference work. Consider purchasing it for your library if this is you passion or life's work. It's a must for any Charleston restorationist or fine building craftsman. |
