"In walking about Charleston, I was reminded of some of the older country towns in England, the appearance of the city is highly picturesque... every house seems built to the owner's particular taste;

and in one street you seem to be in an old English town, and in another in some continental city of France or Italy. This variety is extremely pleasing to the eye." ~ Fannie Kemble 1838-39
