Founded in 1670; Charleston has endured a succession of fires; hurricanes; and earthquakes and played a key role in the American Revolution and the Civil War; and Charlestonians have prevailed through it all. This collection of photographs shows how much of this deeply fascinating city has survived; and celebrates a few architectural gems that have been lost to natural disasters and the wrecking ball. Sites include Cooper River Bridges; Fireproof Building; Washington Square; East Battery; Coates Row; The Old Exchange; Vendue Range; Custom House; Meeting Street; Old Slave Mart; Dock Street Theatre; French Huguenot Church; The Old Powder Magazine; Charleston Hotel; Market Hall; Gibbes Museum of Art; King Street; Osceola's Grave; Middleton Place; and Drayton Hall.
