Edmondston-Alston House
Tour the Edmondston-Alston House for furnished rooms, Greek Revival details, and a piazza overlooking the harbor. The guided visit adds interiors to a Battery walk.
Why go
The house retains furniture, silver, and decorative objects linked to the families who lived there, while its interpretation also addresses free and enslaved people who worked on the property. From the piazza, the harbor view explains why this East Battery address carried status and exposure.
What to look for
Family silver and furniture remain in the period rooms.
The piazza overlooks Charleston Harbor.
Federal and Greek Revival details shape the house.
Useful to know
Make the house tour part of an East Battery visit; the interior is the reason to stop.
Tours run in limited daytime windows, so fit the Battery stroll around the house visit.
