Stoll's Alley

This teeny-tiny little street is one of the shortest and narrowest in Charleston. It also happens to be one of the most charming. Tucked away just off High Battery, Stoll's Alley is worth a quick pit-stop.

Mrs. Whaley's Garden

South of Broad activity

culture

Open on most Thursday, Friday and Saturday afternoons - or 'by happenstance', in typical Charleston fashion - Mrs. Whaley's garden is a charming private garden designed by Loutrel W. Briggs in 1942. Mrs. Emily Whaley, who commissioned the garden all those years ago, wrote a captivating memoir, Mrs. Whaley and Her Charleston Garden, that is still in print today.

20 South Battery

South of Broad

checked in

The name of this historic, 1843-dated mansion, "South of Broad", gives its address away. Now a chic living museum, the five-story 20 South Battery is sandwiched between High Battery and White Point Gardens, overlooking the harbour beyond. Find a private library, a sanctuary garden, and a two-story gilded ballroom — which becomes the venue for an afternoon social hour accompanied by artisanal cheeses and charcuterie.
