Built around 1828, the Edmonston-Alston House is one of the oldest buildings on the Battery and features great views of the harbor. Many of Charleston’s grandest houses were, in fact, just one of multiple residences owned by wealthy landowners—the in-town homes allowed residents to take advantage of the city's cultural offerings and social gatherings and provided respite from malaria-ridden swamps.
