Complete Charleston: A Guide to the Architecture, History, Gardens & Food of Charleston and the Low Country

by Margaret H. Moore, Truman Moore (Photographer)

"Complete Charleston" is the third edition of the only guide that takes you on eleven tours of the sights and secret byways of Charleston's famous historic district--from the celebrated Battery to the planter mansions of secluded neighborhoods that many visitors miss. The great pleasure of visiting Charleston is walking through the quiet historic neighborhoods of the 18th and 19th century and feeling connected to the past. There are more houses from the 1700's on Tradd Street alone than in any other city in America. But Charleston has changed in the last few years as the city moves north, with the growing importance of Marion Square. "Complete Charleston" chronicles the old Charleston and guides you into the new. Charleston has also become an important culinary center. The book includes an expanded restaurant guide and side trips to Savannah, Beaufort, Georgetown and nearby plantations.
