GALLERY: Life on South Battery Street – Charleston, South Carolina
By Mark A. Leon
It is Saturday morning in late April in Charleston, South Carolina. There is a slight breeze, the skies are blue and a few scattered clouds are providing occasional shade to the sailors in the Harbor. Joggers, walkers, bikes and dogs parade the sidewalks while carriages trot along while tour guides spread educational lessons on the history of Charleston. Life is simple down in the South. On this day, we spent a little time capturing the architecture, spring flowers and simplicity of life on South Battery Street. Just off the tip of the peninsula overlooking the Charleston Harbor, South Battery offers some of the most beautiful homes and scenery this city has to over. Take a look for yourself
Sit back and enjoy this photographic look at South Battery. Lose yourself in a Charleston Daydream…

South Battery is a beautiful place. I lived at 96 S. Battery for two years. The House was built by Alexander Sprunt who was the minister at First Scots and was sold to the Greer and Ethel Robinson shortly before his death in 1937.
Morgan, I envy you living in my favorite town. I don’t know if I could afford it though. There is something magic about Charleston!
I so love the beauty of living downtown..but seems so vacuous these days. Where are the locals? Where are the children? Last Halloween no tricker treaters at all. I think the families have left for real communities. My friends all are in the suburbs, now. Empty here.
