| Lowndes Grove Plantation, Charleston, S.C. |
Amazing to think that
Lowndes Grove Plantation is right on the peninsula. I was walking around Hampton Park this past weekend and poked my camera through the front gate to get this shot. I've attended some lovely events on this property at sunset looking over the Ashley River and I know it is a popular wedding spot managed by
Patrick Properties.
(The Grove; Grove Farm) Built ca. 1786,
Lowndes Grove is a one and one-half story frame structure set upon a
raised stucco-over-brick basement. Probably originally built in the
Georgian mode, the structure has been altered through the years. Despite
these alterations, the structure is valuable architecturally,
chronicling various changes in architectural design. At one time the
home of U.S. Congressmen William Lowndes, it later played an important
role in the South Carolina Interstate and West Indies Exposition of
1901-02.
It looks like such a beautiful setting for a wedding!
