Zahc, what a fabulous townhouse! The ones going up in Charleston are not at all hip, modern, or progressive like this. I wish we COULD get those modern buildings built here in S.C., but it'll never happen because our developers are wusses when it comes to such bold designs. Wow, imagine such designs in new developments like Canalside in Columbia, or The Neck in Charleston, or Noisette in N. Chas. I think the latter especially could get away with it since so many of the '40s and '50s-era buildings there are being preserved and re-used as artists' lofts, etc. there. Heck, even Myrtle Beach could have these in abundance! Thanks for posting that pic--maybe an innovative developer here will see it and get inspired to ramp up the S.C. housing landscape a little . . .

Ditto, ditto, ditto. Clemson's graduate school of automotive engineering is as bold as I've seen in South Carolina. I'd like to see more of it, too!

Great pictures everyone.

^I'd swear that was somewhere in Europe if I didn't now any better.

One of the first "high rises" in the country. Thanks for posting that krazee. You'd think that Chas would have more of these buildings (even taller versions of them) by now.

Well, the new Hilton on upper King will be 8 stories, if I'm not mistaken--the same number of floors as this building. So hey, that's a start.

Keeping in with the spirit of height, here's today's contribution:

Great pic of the Francis Marion Hotel! Actually, the new Hilton is supposed to be 9 stories, according to the P & C.

Also, cool pic of the newer Marion Square fountain.

^Thanks.

The Circular Congregational Church (I really dig the architecture):

This sign cracked me up. It's not in Charleston. It's in Milan, Italy and it's a Pizzeria named "Charleston". Kind of jumped out at me as I was walking down the street.

[krazeeboi]

Interesting. You should have went inside and asked if they knew about our Charleston.

No place else looks like this in SC, in fact the world. So civilized. Beautiful shots of lofty old Charleston! where it's easy to lose one's heart...

Where did the pic go?

[krazeeboi]

It's there. Maybe you should refresh your page?

[Charleston native]

Still not seeing it. It basically looks like you've posted a blank post. I don't see a pic or anything.

[krazeeboi]

That's weird; it shows up on my end. Can you see this one:

[Charleston native]

I see the Chas Place one. Great pic...still not seeing anything on the other.

[krazeeboi]

Not sure why. But it's a shot of the different colored storefronts on Queen Street as you near Waterfront Park.

Today's contribution:

[Charleston native]

^ Great shot. And really weird, I can now see the colored store fronts you posted earlier. Those store fronts are actually on what is known as Vendue Range right before you get to Waterfront Park. After you cross East Bay Street going away from the park, then it becomes Queen Street. As for the pic above, I think that's a Meeting Street intersection?

Thanks for the correction on the location of the previous shot. And yeah, this one is at Meeting and Queen.

And since it's after midnight, I can post today's contribution :
