I went to stay with Bianca in Charleston, and we rode downtown to visit the French Huguenot Church located on Church Street. I snapped this while touring around the outside of the church.
Around this area of downtown in the mid-1600s to the mid-1800s, there was a high concentration of wealthy French merchants and the story goes that our paternal great, great, great, great and probably more greats grandmother, Madame Marie Ferree, left France to settle in this area after her husband, a silk merchant, died.
This is one of my favorite architectural structures for many reasons. It's Gothic Revival meets island white wash stucco, and together these two aesthetics make a nice contrast to each other.
