orChestra Designer showhouseNow in its 34th year, the Charleston Symphony Designer Showhouse has become an annual tradition for locals and visitors alike. Each year, a different space is transformed by some of our area’s most talented designers, creating a stunning visual display.

This year, the CSOL has selected the William Steele House, located at 89 Beaufain; this private residence is an important landmark for Charleston, not only because of its fine architectural details but also because of its rich history. It has been painstakingly restored and the original house now looks much as it did when constructed 200 years ago. Modern amenities have been built on the site of the former kitchen, and a new three bedroom guest quarters is on the location of the old carriage house.

The Showhouse is held to benefit the Charleston Symphony Orchestra and will be open to the public March 17 through April 17. Tickets are $20 at the door and $15 before March 15, and may be purchased at www.csolinc.org. The house will be open 10 am-4 pm Monday-Saturday, and 1-4 pm on Sundays. For more info, call 843-723-0020.

Antiquing in ChArlestonFrom the 1740s until the Civil War, Charleston was home to British North America’s rich-est citizens. The upper class used its wealth to enhance its sophistication, traveling abroad to collect fine antiques and art and importing rare valuables from all over the world.

Today, Charleston’s unique shops hold some of the finest English and Continental fur-nishings, early pottery and Chinese porcelain, chandeliers, architectural items, rare books, historic maps and more. The city’s offering of antiques is so complete, in fact, that distinguished collectors refer to Charleston as “The Antiques Mecca of the South.”

When antiquing, keep your eyes open for the fine woodwork that is particular to this region. Since its earliest days, Charleston has attracted cabinetmakers who have created some of the most beautifully intricate furniture in the country. Other finds may include relics from the city’s earliest days; perhaps you’ll find a weathered slave tag, a bullet from the Civil War or a colorful chard of a Southern Belle’s favorite china tea set. The possibil-ities are endless.

Finding Charleston’s array of antique treasures is easy. On King Street, you’ll discover the historic Antique District, with more than 40 diverse shops. At 191 King is Geo. C. Birlant & Co., one of Charleston’s oldest and finest shops. At 308 King, Croghan’s Jewel Box is noted for their antique jewelry and silver. Other antique establishments worth perusing are located on Queen, State, Broad and East Bay Streets in the historic district.

New shops are continually opening on upper King Street as well.

The opportunities for antique shopping are not limited to the Charleston peninsula, however. Spacious markets exist on and off of Highway 17, both East (Mt. Pleasant) and West (of the Ashley River). These shops offer furniture, collectibles and jewelry for every

budget. Be sure to check out Terrace Oaks Antique Mall on James Island, one of the area’s largest dealers with over 11,000 square feet of antique treasures!

If you are looking for a particular piece but can’t find what you had in mind, don’t forget the reproduction shops, where you can purchase

beautiful and affordable reproductions of the popular originals. The Shops of Historic Charleston Foundation at 108 Meeting Street feature authentic fine furniture, china and more. Check out Acquisitions on East Bay as well.

For more information, pick up a Charleston Antiques Dealers Association (CADA) brochure in one of the members’ shops or at a Visitors’ Center.

More than 300 years ago, Lowcountry slaves brought from West Africa their craft of weaving baskets from a local grass. Originally used for the practical purpose of collecting rice and cotton in plantation fields, the skill has been passed from generation to genera-tion. There are no instructional books on sweetgrass basket making, nor are its secrets readily shared; it is a tradition that is upheld within a proud group of people as part of an ancestral story that is cherished and honored.

“My mother’s mother taught me how to weave these baskets when I was 12 years old,” explains Marie Rouse, who sells her handmade baskets from a stand on Highway 17 in Mt. Pleasant. “She’s 96 now, but her family’s tradition keeps on going.”

When holding a sweetgrass basket, one can sense more than just its historical allure. Its hand-stitching and elaborate designs and shapes are a treat to the eyes. In fact, because of their intricate detail, sweetgrass baskets can take anywhere from 12 hours to three months to complete, each one boasting its own unique character. “They can be used as air-fresheners too,” says Rouse, referring to the baskets‚ lingering fresh-hay scent.

Another aspect that adds to the value of sweetgrass baskets is that they are becoming increasingly rare; some have even declared sweetgrass basketmaking a dying art. Though there has been a significant effort to preserve the basketmakers’ trade, highway stands

and sidewalk displays have decreased dramatically in number. In 1900, over 2,500 basketmaking families were active in

the industry; today, there are only about 200. Large-scale land development has over-

taken many of the wild marshes and swamps where sweet-

grass grows, making the material

harder to

The Allure of SweeTgrASS bASkeTSUniquely Charleston


find. Furthermore, new generations in these old basketmaking families are pursu-ing other career interests.

Over the centuries, the sweetgrass basket has changed from a practical plantation tool to a fine art object that represents rich heritage and meticulous skill. Once sold in the early 1900s for around $2-3 each, baskets in today’s market bring from less than $100 to as much as $20,000.

Since these baskets are found only in the Lowcountry, they serve as a beautiful reminder of your trip here, but how do you choose one? You will see that the bas-kets‚ shapes and designs vary, and some even include different grasses like bulrush. “You cannot say that any certain thing makes one basket better than another basket – that’s like saying one painting is better than another painting,” says Rouse, who explains that deciding which basket to buy is a matter of personal taste. She adds, however, that a tightly-woven, qual-ity basket can easily last more than a cen-tury, if it’s cared for properly.

The sweetgrass basket has become a wide-ly respected and distinctive art form, find-ing its way into the residences of royalty and highly distinguished art museums like the Smithsonian Institution. It is a unique and historically significant offer-ing that adds to the charm of the Charleston area.

A Taste of Yesterday

Charleston’s Historic Market is one of the area’s must see attractions. Having survived a tumultuous past, the Market has outlasted tornadoes, hurricanes, a major earthquake and devastation by fires and Civil War bombardment. Over 200 years ago, a wealthy Charleston family willed land to the town of Charleston to be used as a public market, with the stipulation that the property revert to the family if used for any other purpose. To this day, the charm-ing Charleston City Market is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike.

Market Hall faces Meeting Street as the main entrance to four blocks of open-air buildings. One-of-a-kind shops and restaurants have something for every taste.

Set amid the historic ambience of the city’s Old & Historic District, this series of award-winning tours showcases Charleston’s distinctive architecture, history, gardens and culture. These tours provide a rare opportunity for guests to go inside the private houses and gardens of some of America’s most beautiful historic residences, dating to the 18th century.

Charleston has been renowned for three centuries as “a city set in a garden.” The Festival is set during the peak of the city’s blooming season, and tours feature seven to ten properties each day in one of eleven neighborhoods, dating from the American colonial period,

through the antebellum and Victorian eras, to early 20th century. Beautiful architecture and lush gardens are woven throughout the historic neighborhoods of Charleston, which has consistently been named among the ten most courteous and friendly cities in America.

Tours and events vary daily to allow you to enjoy the diversity of this unique port city which traces its origins to 1670. For more information and tickets, call 843-722-3405 or visit www.historiccharleston.org.

Secessionists, Soldiers and Slaves: The Middleton & Alston Families’ Civil WarMiddleton Place, 4300 Ashley River Road Edmondston-Alston House, 21 East BatteryJanuary 1, 2011 - December 31, 2015

The Middleton Place House Museum and the Edmondston-Alston House will mount special changing exhibits commemorating American Civil War sesquicentennial anniversaries on a year-by-year basis and follow the lives of the Middleton family, Alston family, friends and slaves. Using

personal letters, first-hand accounts and collections of the Middleton Place Foundation, the war will be viewed through the lens of the Middleton and Alston families as Secession and early war optimism turn slowly into defeat. The exhibit will explore rice culture during the war, the building of Charleston’s defenses, investing in experimental “seegar boats,” the use of slaves for war projects and runaway slaves fleeing the plantations for Union controlled-bases in Beaufort and Port Royal.

What’s in BloomAROUND CHARLESTON

January—Oxalis (Wood Sorrel)A lovely addition to the winter garden, oxalis often blooms throughout the winter into spring and repeats the show off and on through summer and fall. Commonly seen cultivars have small pink to white to light purple blooms. Also called four-leaf clover or shamrock, this attractive green plant grows in clumps and is happiest in shade or partial sun.

February—Narcissus pseudonarcissus (Lent lily)This lovely, small pale to deep yellow daf-fodil is one of the earliest to bloom, just after paperwhites. It is actually a wildflower in disguise and is found naturalized on the roadsides and meadows of the Lowcoun-try. Called Lent lilies because they usually bloom around the beginning of the Lenten season, these sweet-scented flowers are prized for their hardiness and beauty.


March—Vinca (Periwinkle)This attractive ground cover grows year round in our area and blooms in winter and early spring. Lovely funnel-shaped lilac-colored flowers compliment the variegated cream and green foliage. Plant vincas in part sun to full shade and relax. This is a carefree plant that needs very little care, and a broken branch may very well take root where it lands.

Long before the first shot of the Civil War in Charleston, a bitter current of turbulence undermined the serenity

of post-Revolutionary America. While both North and South amassed grand fortunes, inherent

differences in the early colonies led to extreme rifts as generations passed. New Englanders had disdained the Carolina colonists for their love of drink and game, and even for their religious tolerance. As the Puritan grip on the North faded, the bluntness of manners did not; and to Southern society, so proud of its graces if not duplicitous nature, found those manners less than agreeable. In the

Antebellum period it was said that a “Boston gentleman looked as if he knew everything, while

a Charlestonian looked as if he knew everything worthwhile for a gentleman to know.”

However, social differences became complicated with political turmoil. The debate over slavery grew deeper after importation of slaves ended in 1808. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was an attempt by Congress to stabilize the amount of free vs. slave states, but the moral issue of slavery remained as ardent as ever. The industrial revolution began to stir, with dirty, dusty streets a threat to idyllic plantation life.

However, the growing division of North and South was rent irrevocably apart over a series of protective tariffs. Thomas Cooper, an Englishman who later became president of

Cobblestones of the Past


Winds of War: 150th Civil War anniversary Part 1: seeds of seCession

Lincoln

Fort Sumter

Cobblestones of the PastSouth Carolina College in Columbia, is perhaps the earliest known secessionist after his speech in Columbia in the 1820s:

If he [Northern manufacturers] cannot make goods as cheap and as of good quality, is that a reason why his deficiencies should be made good out of our pocket, by compelling us to pay exorbitant prices? I have said…what use to us is this most unequal alliance? By which the South has always been the loser and the North always the gainer? Is it worth our while to continue this union of states, where the North demands to be our masters…?

Despite these early warnings and protestations, Congress, in 1828, passed what became known as the Tariff of Abominations. Even though import duties were increased, total revenue decreased, as people ceased buying foreign goods. Trade with Europe in cotton had made the South extremely wealthy, and the Northern lawmakers were pointedly ending that trade. But two men who remembered Cooper’s speeches stepped forward: Robert Barnwell Rhett, who was a legislator from Walterboro, South Carolina, and John C. Calhoun, then Vice President of the United States.

The relationship between the “nationalists” and “sectionalists” in Congress naturally declined over the next several years, and at a 4th of July speech in 1832, Rhett spoke, “What sir, Carolina has ever obtained great or free, but by Revolution?...Revolution! Sir, it is the dearest and holiest word, to the brave and free.” Several months later, on November 24, 1832, delegates to a South Carolina convention declared the Tariff Acts of 1828 and 1832 to be null and void. Effective the following February, federal duties would no longer be collected in South Carolina.

Winds of War: 150th Civil War anniversary Part 1: seeds of seCession

Webster

Calhoun


President Andrew Jackson, who had no love for John C. Calhoun over personal reasons to begin with, responded by increasing military presence at Fort Moultrie and Castle Pinckney, saying, “We shall cross the mountains into…South Carolina with a force…so overwhelming as to render resistance hopeless.”

Things generally went from bad to worse that December. Calhoun resigned as vice president but remained a senator. Speculation abounded that Jackson may have him arrested for treason. Jackson introduced a bill to force collection of tariffs in South Carolina. The famous Calhoun-Webster debates stoked the passions of everyone involved. When the bill came up for vote, all Southern senators but John Tyler walked out of the chamber in protest.

While South Carolina planned for a federal invasion, Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun were holding private meetings in search of a way to allay the crisis. A compromise was reached, and the stirrings of war receded, but never did fade completely after the 1830s.

By the time Abraham Lincoln was elected in November of 1860, with only 40% of the popular vote, three decades of unrest were waiting to break free. Lincoln, despised for his anti-slavery sentiments and his views on expansion, was not even on the ballot in nine southern states. Across the street from Charleston City Hall the day the election results

were announced, Federal Judge Andrew Magrath was in session. When the day’s business was complete, he addressed the court before removing his robes and leaving the bench:

In the political history of the United States an event has happened of ominous import to the 15 slave-holding states. Feeling an assurance of what will be the action of the state, I consider it my duty…to obey its wishes. For the last time I have, as a judge of the United States, administered the laws of the United States…”

Tempers were hot throughout the country; feelings hardened. South Carolinians wasted no time in preparing for war, though the Secession Convention did not meet in Columbia until December 17, 1860. Concerns over a smallpox outbreak—not

to mention a temperate upstate view on secession—brought the delegates to Charleston by train the following day. There, a fifteen gun salute and cheering crowd awaited them.

The Secession Convention met at the South Carolina Institute Hall on Meeting Street, December 20, 1860, to call for votes at 1:15 pm. When the Ordinance of Secession was read, “a stillness that could be felt prevailed.” The delegates reconvened at 6:30 pm for the signing ceremony. Famed diarist Mary Boykin Chesnut was staying at the Mills House Hotel across the street, unable to concentrate from the noise. She later wrote of the gloomy sentiments shared between herself and her friend Sarah Rutledge what may come: “The talk is: ‘Fort Sumter must be taken, and it is one of the strongest forts’. How in the name of sense are they to manage? I shudder to think of rash moves.”

What’s Cookin’?


Charleston red riCeA true Lowcountry delight, there are nearly as many ways to prepare red rice as there are cooks in Charleston, but the basic recipe remains the same: rice, tomatoes and pork fat simmered together to make delicious! This dish is perfect served with fried seafood or cooked greens. If you don’t eat pork, vegetable fat can be used with good results.

red rice4 strips bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces2 onions, chopped fine1 small can tomato paste (6 ounces)2 ¼ cups water3 teaspoons salt2-3 teaspoons sugar½ teaspoon pepper1 cup long grain rice 8 tablespoons bacon grease (optional)

Fry bacon, remove from pan. Sauté onions in grease. Add tomato paste, water, salt, sugar and pepper. Bring mixture to boil, then add rice and extra bacon grease (if desired). Bring to boil again, stir well, and then reduce heat to low. Do not open and stir again until rice is completely cooked (follow directions on rice package), stir in crumbled bacon and serve.

Adapted from Charleston Receipts Repeats

Most of the generals on both sides of the Civil War had been graduates of West Point in the preceding years. However, early in the war it seemed as if the south had gotten all of the key military talent. Next to Robert E. Lee, the most famous Confederate general was the bold Stonewall Jackson. It was a key moment in the war when Jackson was shot by friendly fire during the Battle of Chancellorsville in the spring of 1863. His arm ampu-tated, he contracted pneumonia and died several days later, depriving the South of one of its greatest generals.

Not fond of ceremonies or military music, Ulysses S. Grant said he could only recognize two tunes. “One was Yankee Doodle, the other one wasn’t.”

Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest had 30 horses shot from under him and personally killed 31 men in hand-to-hand combat. “I was a horse ahead at the end,” he said.

General Stonewall Jackson walked around with his right hand in the air to balance the blood flow in his body. He thought that because he was right-handed his left hand didn’t get as much blood as his right. So, by raising his right hand, it would allow the excess blood to run into his left.

Crowd PleaserThreads of War: CloThing and

TexTiles of The Civil War - Exhibit at thE CharlEston MusEuM

Through September 5Commemorating the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, The Charleston Museum presents Threads of War: Clothing and Textiles of the Civil War. This original exhibition offers a glimpse into the lives of those on the homefront, who battled deprivation and fear while raising their families and protecting their property, as well as the soldiers who fought on the front lines. Threads of War shows that, as the nation’s bloodiest conflict dragged on, it took its toll not only in lives lost, but on fashion, supplies, household goods and every aspect of life. Women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, uniforms and accessories, flags, quilts and coverlets, along with period magazines, newspapers, daguerreotypes and diaries provide vivid images of 1860s Charleston and a lifestyle torn apart by war.

Located at 360 Meeting Street, The Charleston Museum is open to the public Monday-Saturday, 10 am-5 pm and Sunday 1-5 pm. For more information, call 843-722-2996 or visit www.charlestonmuseum.org.

Uniquely CharlestonHistoric Morris island ligHtHouse

Surrounded by water, Morris Island lighthouse stands all alone about 300 yards off shore from the island of Folly Beach. It can be viewed from the northeast end of Folly Island and from the bridge coming on to Folly Beach.

Morris Island, home of the lighthouse, was once a good sized island with numerous buildings around it. The lighthouse was completed in 1876 and was the second lighthouse to be built on the island.

In the 1700s there were three islands that stretched for four miles between Folly Island and Sullivan’s Island. They were named Middle Bay Island, Morrison Island and Cummings Point. The first Charleston lighthouse was built on Middle Bay Island in 1767. The tower was cylindrical and stood 102 feet tall. The lantern room had a revolving lamp that had a range of about 12 miles. In 1858 a Fresnel lens was installed.

In the early 1800s the channel leading to Charleston began to shift causing a change in the tidal currents. Sand began to build up between the islands and this resulted in the three islands merging into a single island. Since Morrison Island was the central of the three earlier islands, the now single island was called Morrison Island. Later the name was shortened to Morris Island.

The first Charleston lighthouse continued to provide service up to the Civil War. In 1861 the fleeing Confederate soldiers blew up the lighthouse so northern troops could not use it.


Morris Island was heavily fortified to defend Charleston harbor, with the fortifications centered on Fort Wagner. It was the scene of heavy fighting during the Union Army’s campaign to capture Charleston, and is perhaps best known today as the scene of the ill-fated assault by the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry, an African-American regiment. The regiment and this assault, where it suffered over 50% casualties, was immortalized in the film Glory.

Following the Civil War, in 1873, Congress appropriated money for the rebuilding of the Morris Island Lighthouse (then referred to as the Charleston Main Light). The lighthouse was completed in 1876 approximately 400 yards from the earlier tower. It stood 161 feet tall and was patterned after the Bodie Light of the Outer Banks in North Carolina. There were a total of 15 buildings on the island besides the lighthouse tower. Included in these were the keeper’s quarters, various outbuildings, and a one-room schoolhouse (the school teacher came over from the mainland on Monday, taught the children during the week and returned to the mainland on Friday).

Toward the end of the 1800s the channel had again shifted, but this time the change threatened the Charleston Harbor. In order to keep the channel open several jetties had to be built. These were completed in 1889. Although the channel into Charleston was saved, the changing tidal currents resulting from the jetties caused severe erosion on Morris Island. The island began to shrink. By 1938 many of the buildings were destroyed and others moved. The light was automated in 1938 and the Fresnel lens was removed.

Since 1938 over 1600 feet of land surrounding the tower has been lost. Today it stands alone, completely surrounded by water. In 1962 the Sullivan’s Island lighthouse was built to replace the Morris Island Light, which was decommissioned. The U.S. Coast Guard had plans to demolish the tower but petitions from local residents saved the structure.

A non-profit was formed, Save the Light, Inc., that, in 1999, bought the historic light-house for $75,000 to preserve it for the people of South Carolina. In 2000, the light-house was transferred to the State of South Carolina through the Department of Natural Resources. The lighthouse is leased to Save the Light, Inc. for 99 years to coordinate the stabilization, erosion control and restoration of the lighthouse and to raise the necessary funds for that work. This past summer, a new foundation was built, stabilizing the light-house by replacing wood pilings with concrete micropilings.
