When you look around you do you really SEE what you’re looking at? Most will only see the flow of traffic, the people; maybe they are looking for a specific place to eat, but few will appreciate the magnificence that surrounds them on a daily basis. South Carolina is full of architectural brilliance. We may not have many towering skyscrapers, but what we do have will blow you away!
It was built in 1829. Some say that the building's designer based it on a painting that he loved. We will never know whether that is true or not, but we do know that it is striking!
This is just amazing to see in person. It is reportedly made to be hurricane proof. There is a similar one in Florence County. Wouldn't it be amazing to have a tour?
11. Arthur Ravenel Bridge or Cooper River Bridge, Charleson
It was built in 2005 to replace two cantilever truss bridges that were not capable of withstanding the amount of traffic between Mt. Pleasant and Charleston. This bridge spans 13,200 feet and is visually stunning to behold.
This beautifully ornate building has quite a history. This particular one was built in 1809 and began as a hotel, but in 1835 it was renovated to be a theatre. It's been renovated quite a few time since then, but holds its gorgeous charm.
The infrastructure of a pier is interesting. It takes just as much work to hold up a structure as it does to make it beautiful; in the work to make it sturdy they gave us something beautiful.
The beauty of South Carolina never disappoints. From natural beauty to man-made marvels, we seem to be lucky in all aspects. Which are your favorite architectural pieces? If you have a picture or a comment, please share it in the comment section below. I would LOVE to see your photographs!
