Built in 1825, this is one of the first dwellings built on Charleston’s High Battery and affords visitors a glimpse of early 19th century elegance, style and comfort. Its incredible views of the harbor are lovely and important to the home’s historical significance—General Beauregard watched the bombardment of Ft. Sumter and Robert E. Lee took refuge here.
