Charleston AttractionsFine Southern Home Designs with Side Porches When the outer "hospitality" door is left open, it was a signal to neighbors and friends that the owners were home and ready to receive guests. Placing the porch on the side gave owners more privacy and a deeper layout on typical long, narrow lots. Side porches also allowed more air to flow through the home to keep it cool in summer.
