Speaking for Cuzzin Dixie, Mama_Bear, she lives in Summerville, just up the road (Northwest) from Charleston. If I remember correctly, you went to Middleton Gardens, and thus were closer to her there than to Charleston!
Yes, my grandfather had a Methodist Church somewhere near The Battery in the mid to latter teens of the 1900's.
My sister Anne's first husband's father was a Charlestonian, and he and his two spinster sisters grew up in the house directly across the alley behind the very famous St. Michael's Church.
(Meeting and Broad Streets in Charleston.)
- Built between 1752 and 1761 -
Anne and Bill had two little girls before he died of polio in the 7th year of their marriage, and the girls inherited a lot of their great-aunts' very old antique furniture.
(Meeting and Broad Streets in Charleston.) Yes! We were there. We saw that church!
No, we didn't go to Middleton Gardens. The only gardens we saw were at Magnolia Plantation......and they were beautiful!
I have so many photographs but haven't had a spare moment to sort them all. But here is one that JK took of the Magnolia Plantation Gardens....
