The Most Charming Front Doorways in Charleston
Along with Charleston, South Carolina’s impressive plantation homes, boutique hotels, and antiques shops, one of local photographer Lucy Cuneo’s favorite things about her city is something you might not expect: the doorways. “I love photographing doorways here because for me they encapsulate the pride and care people here dedicate to their homes and gardens,” she says. She’s always snapping photos of the most striking façades, and she’s sharing ten of the best here. “Within the historic district, houses are typically quite close together and gardens are very often secret, hidden behind high walls or accessed through alleyways,” she says. “I think that the elegant presentation of doorways with their plantings and architecture is the local people putting a friendly, welcoming, and social face on a design feature that is actually quite private and exclusive.” Visit our Instagram feed to see more of Cuneo’s must-see spots in her hometown.
