For travelers exploring Charleston, it is a focused way to consider how individual places contribute to a broader sense of local history.

A historic house rewards attention to context as much as appearance. Consider how a residence relates to the surrounding area, and how the scale or visible details of a building can suggest different ways of living across time.
