The Oldest Home in Charleston, South Carolina

[@nancyhoskins197]

As a Navy bride, moving to Charleston was an adventure. I fell in love with the architecture, gardens and decors. They impacted my style for my lifetime.

[@richardpowell4281]

I've grown up and lived in the Charleston area for many years. If you love history, architecture, good food, Charleston is the city to visit

[@jamesmeyers887]

It is 308 years old

[@stevestringer7351]

This is true! My wife and I visited Charleston this past summer and loved it! We plan to come back!

[@jdhjimbo]

The gardens are spectacular! The quality and detail of these historic homes in Charleston is pricelss! Loved imagining living there!

Great KZbin, Drew. My grandfather's (large) family -- on the Stender side -- lived in that house for three generations from the mid-1800s to the early 1900s, after arriving from Germany around 1848. What's now the large, fabulous garden was the large, pedestrian home of their chickens, roosters, goats, cows and horses. Jock Stender

[@angelahartley3212]

Do you have any stories about the house?! Would love to read about it!!!

[@TC-nm3hh]

What about those 700 slaves yea nice house

[@eugenepattivalitzski9757]

Bet he had some beautiful flower gardens too!

[@DirtDawg]

Our family has been in Virginia since the mid 1600s. After visiting Charleston this past weekend, it saddens me to see how much of our southern charm, manors and caring for one another that Charleston still holds strongly, and we have lost in Virginia. My love and appreciation for history makes me thankful for our visit and seeing ways I can change in my own lifestyle. Thank you, Charleston.

[@susanwells3911]

I think this home is just beautiful! I just had D R Horton build me a new homes in Huger SC, but I want to see this home in person, it really is stunning! Thanks for the video!

[@lorascelsi8102]

Very well kept and light and bright inside. Too cute.

[@tricorntom2254]

Thanks for the great tour. Would love to see a presentation of the gardens in all four seasons. Also a few more brief biographies and stories of folks who have lived and stayed there.

[@beatricefrask5230]

Merci pour la visite!

[@shinysnewworld]

Was this property at one point in time a plantation house? It sure does look like it.

[@patriciawilliamsn9605]

Those gardens! Gorgeous home

[@dickwhittick5958]

there is an MLS. listing for a home built in 1680 which supersedes this house as the. actual oldest home in Charleston.

[@MrMosinNagant1937]

its called the pink house

[@elainedangerfield5773]

The Pink House. Yes.

[@debraabbadessa897]

Probably slavery there too ,awful

[@nancyhoskins197]

Slavery existed. History. Fact. Move on. Thoughts enslave you! There are things to do. Not rioting, burning. Help a neighbor, be a friend, speak kindly, live wholesomely, share your life positively. Make the new year better in your corner of the world!

[@michaelmullin3585]

Why are families selling out these old homes? Or are they all owned by speculators?

[@JackDavenport-e3j]

I have a friend who hails from Neyles, S.C. who inherited a manse on . Lockwood Boulevard. He allowed me to dig i n the basement. Found slave tag, bottles etc

[@parrisestatessouthernhomec3246]

My family the parris family owned it from 1789-1986

[@alicezecevich2654]

I love history & boy do you get it here in Charleston, you said that this is the oldest house, I thought the pink house was the oldest house? Not to worry either way I absolutely love how they use to build their houses in those days, so much history attached to them you could imagine the people who use to live in these places still doing their house duties around the house!

[@ACE-fi2uv]

Yea "history"....

[@lucianorodrigues4259]

Que linda casa!

[@ROCKSLIDZ]

The house is lovely and the tour is very interesting. But the MUSIC for this video is awful! Much too loud, too busy, too up-tempo = distracting and annoying. The music competes with the narrator and the camerawork instead of enhancing them.

[@andreimt3337]

Passing through, we spent a couple of days Charleston. Impressions: dirty, locals looks unfriendly, dissatisfied with their lives people or provincial drug addicts and alcoholics. Trashy area, road full of water, smells like swamp and garbage. Car parking - 25 cents in 12 minutes! I’ll never go there again.

[@paveldalesssandro6920]

Thank it suck here I moved but I'm leaving soon I hate it here

[@deborahdean8867]

I had a friend who loved it there in mount pleasant . I think Charleston is one of those places where the side of town you are on makes all the difference......and how much money. But she did remark that in the last 15 years people have gotten more hurried and edgy. She attributed it to the heavy tourism.

[@chrisarroyo1431]

I wonder if they would let "just anybody" with six million dollars laying around purchase this home....🤔

[@johnpennell3387]

Chris Arroyo yes. We like money here. No one gives a shit about your skin color. So long as the check clears...

My people were raped, tortured and murdered while building these homes that you hold in such high esteem

[@andrewwizard1577]

Just because some group of people in some time period before wasn’t perfect and committed horrible acts it doesn’t mean that these couldn’t produce glorious things. And not all rich southerners were abusive to their slaves and some treated their slaves relatively well. Also, don’t be so arrogant and self righteous to think that if you were in their time period and their position you wouldn’t do even worse things. So get out of here with your self righteous negativity and let us enjoy some nice architecture. We’re not celebrating slavery and rape, were celebrating good parts of a past culture

you can really feel the barbarous slavery that went into this home

[@elsey1976]

Waaaa!!!

[@redhoward11]

The Barbary slave trade was when Europeans were enslaved my Muslims and Moors, then taken to Northern Africa...

[@deborahdean8867]

You had to have a Avery skilled crew to erect those European designs and finishings . And you're not going to be able to just use brute force to get people to do that. They have to be taught, get experience, probably be able to read blueprints and plans and know some reading and math. Today it's easier to force people into labor where they have no skills because of automation . Skills are more narrow and robotic. But producing this kind of work on your own or in a small community of people requires alot more expertise by everyone . You won't whip someone into making a well fitting dovetail joint.

Enjoyed the video. I miss Charleston.WOW!!!! What PERFUNCLORY comments below. lol Don't eat rice. What? lol Homes built by slaves. No, not all the homes were built by slaves. lol Only the POORLY CONSTRUCTED ones. Which those homes no-longer stand. lol Moreover, slaves were sold in Africa by their OWN PEOPLE as UNDESIRABLES, and to not only white people. Do your home-work. I'm POSITIVE the slaves had much better lives and later opportunities than they would have back in Africa. lol ugh!!! Do your home-work. I'll put your perfunctory comments about rice and building of homes by slaves to bed. It's all in the past. Move on. January 31, 1865 was a 154 years ago.

So sorry to tell u thats a lie black people built everything the white man ever had if u People feel that way about us why did you bring us here on the first place oh yea cause you people are too lazy and too stupid and evil to do it for yourself and yall got the nerve to talk

[@ACE-fi2uv]

Yes they would've been making pyramids... Do your homework on that...

[@deborahdean8867]

@@TC-nm3hh well I'm sure any laborers would have to be trained. That might have happened in time as most if the plantation types were small villages until themselves. After emancipation the ones who had the most problems were the farm laborers because all they could do is small sharecropping. I've often wondered how they went about training slaves in european skills. It had to take years, knowledge of the language, and then father to son to keep going? There was far more closeness and interdependence going on than we perceive today

[@katrynamcintyre5687]

March 3, 2019: Thank you for the tour! Slavery has existed for centuries on every continent, not just Africa! P.S. There were educated and successful black people who became university professors in the 1950s and 60s! Perhaps some feel they didn't do enough for their black brothers and sisters? (Too many live with a 'chip' on their shoulder!) My dad's family was an embarrassment, but my mother came from a large family with loving parents, brothers, sisters, a host of relatives and many comforts. Of course, many resented their happiness which is rooted in envy and malice! A black family recently moved in next door, and they are loud and obnoxious. If the state of Virginia is their turf, I trust that God will move me away at the proper time.

Alex K. Yep 😐

[@deborahdean8867]

Craftsmanship is never free. Since these huge places were like mini villages I wonder how long it took to begin training... ..because all of these are of European design. And then the training would have to be passed down....had to be a system and it must have taken years to get homegrown craftmanship. They were all far more invested in the welfare of the 'farm ' and very interdependent and close. That's one thing we dont appreciate nowadays .
