Historic Church St. Painting by Charleston Artist Katherine M. Schneider
Still charming after almost 200 years, this historic Church St. home was a pleasure to paint today. The graceful sweep of the garden gate and stately front entrance brightly lit by the morning sun made a "very Charleston" scene.
I was told the fragrant jasmine vine surrounding the front door is wonderful to see and smell when it blooms in the spring.
The timeless beauty of this historic Charleston home is a reminder of the importance of historic preservation in this and other cities. For many years, Charleston has been a leader in the United States in the fight to preserve and protect endangered historic properties.
