ON A HISTORIC
ARCHITECTURAL
TOUR OF
THE PLACES
WE LOVE

Antebellum (or "prewar") architecture refers to the predominant style of the 19th-century
American South, from the time of the American Revolution up to the start of the Civil War.
Some of its best-preserved examples can be found in and around Charleston. This port city
epitomizes Southern culture, from charming cobblestoned streets lined with ancient oaks

ANTEBELLUM
ARCHITECTURE
Neoclassic Grace and
Opulence in Charleston,
South Carolina and
New Orleans, Louisiana

draped in Spanish moss, to magnificently-preserved examples of Antebellum architecture,
ranging from Georgian and Neoclassical to Greek Revival, Italianate, Federal and more.
Wealthy landowners and entrepreneurs from Europe seeking economic opportunities
dominated the economy of the South in the first half of the 19th century and greatly
impacted architectural styles as well. Grand mansions and plantation homes built by slaves
showcased the wealth and societal stature of their owners, who cultivated and sold cotton,
rice and indigo.
The main characteristics of Antebellum architecture viewed from the outside of the house
often included huge pillars, a balcony that ran along the whole outside edge of the house
to offer shade and a sitting area, evenly spaced large windows, and big center entrances at
the front and rear of the house to add to the box like style of the mansion. Interiors were just
as extravagant, with enormous foyers, sweeping open stairways, ballrooms, grand dining
rooms and intricate shapes and patterns made from plaster used to adorn walls
and furniture.
