Charleston Old and Historic District

Why go

The district makes Charleston's long history legible in its streets. Around the Four Corners of Law, St. Michael's Church, the courthouse and other civic buildings stand close together; farther along, narrow-fronted single houses show a different side of the city's eighteenth- and nineteenth-century building traditions.

What to look for

• Broad and Meeting Streets, known as the Four Corners of Law
• Charleston single houses with narrow street fronts and side entrances
• The shift from civic Broad Street to residential blocks nearby

Useful to know

• Begin at Broad and Meeting Streets, then choose a smaller cluster of streets to explore on foot.
• Treat churches, houses and museums as separate visits with their own access rules.
