White Point Garden, Historic Architecture & The Southern Verandah

Lifestyle Natural Beauty Nature Summer travel

Historic Charleston architecture, white point garden, and learn the history of the most Southern architectural feature of all: the glorious verandah. 

Today's video starts at the southernmost tip of the Charleston peninsula at White Point Garden.  This extremely elegant green space is planted with old growth Live Southern Oak trees that provide the ever-so Southern sun-dappled shade from the heat of the day. 

This park is located in the Battery, one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in the country, this area is comprised of meticulously restored antebellum homes that are the pride of the many generations of families that make this home. 

The origins and mythology of the Southern verandah are discussed as I spend a few in the cool shade on a hot Southern afternoon.
