The Preservation of Charleston

Charleston's motto, "Aedes mores juraque curat" (She guards her buildings, customs, and laws), definitively captures this unique and gracious southern city, and The Preservation of Charleston showcases the city at its finest through the stunning photography of N. Jane Iseley and vivid descriptions by Charleston archivist Harlan Greene and author William P. Baldwin. This book highlights not only the many meticulously restored 18th and 19th century homes in the city proper, but also ventures into the countryside to focus on many of the plantation estates, including Drayton Hall.

This book is wrapped in cellophane by the distributor to keep it in pristine condition before being displayed on a coffee table or bookshelf.
