Historic Charleston HomesFor Fabulous Front Porch Ideas
Seafood, southern hospitality, beaches, and great porches!
Historic Charleston homes have universal appeal for their residential architecture.
Advertisements Advertisements Mary and I traveled to Charleston to bring you some unique front porch ideas. It's a fun city to explore; there's a porch around every corner and down every street. We strolled up and down almost every street in the historical district and saw some amazing porches. 
The Charleston Single: The Charleston Single is a Federal-style home that has a central hall with two to four rooms flanking each side. The home is turned so that the front porch and two outside doors are located on one side. 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.
