The stately Edmondston-Alston House was built in
1825 on Charleston's High Battery and is one of the
city's most splendid dwellings. A witness to many
dramatic events in Charleston’s history, the
Edmondston-Alston House is a classic example of
the city’s changing and sophisticated taste in
architecture and decorative arts. The House is a
repository of family treasures, including Alston family
silver, furniture, books and paintings that remain in
place much as they have been for over a century and
a half. Look seaward from the second floor piazza,
where Gen. Beauregard watched the bombardment
of Fort Sumter.
