Welcome to the second installment of the Historic Southern Homes series, where I introduce you to some pretty spectacular old homes based right here in the South. Today, I want to share with you the Nathaniel Russell House in Charleston, SC.
Nathaniel Russell, a wealthy merchant, built the house in 1808. It is located right in the heart of downtown Charleston on Meeting Street, and can now be toured daily.

Imagine the labor and level of craftsmanship required to perform all that detail work with the tools that were available in the early 19th century. Incredible…
What an absolute treasure this home is. The craftsmanship leaves me speechless, honestly, I just don’t have the words to describe its utter magnificence. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
Oh my goodness that staircase is stunning! Well the whole house really, but the staircase is like a piece of art. Thanks for sharing :)
