Other Architectural Style Porches in Charleston

• Walk along East Battery Street (famed Battery Row) to find exquisite waterfront mansions built from 1809 to 1920. You'll find a mix of styles ranging from Italian Renaissance Revival to Art Deco.
• Find both single (for which Charleston is famous) and double houses on Church and Meeting Streets. Check out 71 Church Street (Cola. Robert Breton House), one of the earliest surviving examples of the Charleston single house. It dates back to 1721. The Elliott-Huger House at 34 Meeting is an example of an early double house.
• Stroll along East Bay Street (world-renowned Rainbow Row - see our video). It is an example of 18th-century Georgian townhouse construction and is very colorful.
