"Charleston's climate, the southern habits, the social arrangements, all give a picturesqueness in their separate ways, and there is a fine air of age, and dusty decay which invests whole streets with the venerableness of the past. - It is like Italy in the feeling that belongs to it, - and ought to have painters and poets." ~ Charles Eliot Norton, 1855
