Visit the Edmondston-Alston House, where General P. T. Beauregard watched from its piazza the fierce bombardment of Ft. Sumter on April 12, 1861, signaling the start of the Civil War.This house tour will guide you through one of Charlestons historical homes, built in the late Federal style by Scottish shipping merchant, Charles Edmondston, at the height of his commercial success. In 1825, it was one of the first substantial houses to be built along the city’s sea wall away from the noisy wharves and warehouses further up the Peninsula. During the Panic of 1837, Edmondston sold his home and was purchased by Charles Alston, a member of a well-established Low Country rice-planting dynasty.The striking Greek Revival interiors, fascinating collections of the family portraits, furniture and silver and maritime views from the piazza make the Edmondston-Alston House an unforgettable part of any Charleston adventure.
