Open House in Charleston

By Linda Tancs

Calhoun Mansion is an 1876 manor house of  italianate design and the largest residence in Charleston, South Carolina.  It boasts Tiffany lighting, a 75 foot domed ceiling, 35 rooms and 23 fireplaces.  For a fee you can tour this house, which happens to be a private residence.  The gardens are free to tour, however, and they are spectacular.  During Historic Charleston Foundation’s 64th Annual Spring Festival of Houses & Gardens today through 16 April, you can tour stately homes like Calhoun.  Tours and events vary daily.
