Anyone who loves houses and interiors loves Charleston.

The Allure of Charleston shows why by delving into the architecture and interiors of the past and present.

Exploring the question of what makes Charleston so distinct, Sully demonstrates why the language of its architecture, interior design, and gardens is so versatile and enduring.

Examples of Georgian, Federal, and Greek Revival architecture and of rooms containing an array of English, European, and American decorative details convey the complex harmony that characterises the city s houses.

Featuring historic masterpieces including Drayton Hall, the Nathaniel Russell House, and Middleton Place, this volume also offers a look at present-day residences, among them a new house built faithfully to colonial style, a charming eighteenth-century dwelling with modern updates, a stunning Georgian town-house with a contemporary addition, and a sophisticated Federal home.

The Allure of Charleston also includes a visual lexicon presenting the individual elements wrought iron gates, garden statuary, pastel plaster walls, refined porcelain that comprise the city s style, making this exquisite book both informative and inspiring.
