March 21- April 20, 2013

Experience the intimate charm and elegance found only beyond Charleston's private garden gates and historic thresholds during Historic Charleston Foundation’s 66th Annual Spring Festival of Houses & Gardens.

Set amid the historic ambience of the city’s Old & Historic District, this series of award- winning tours showcases Charleston’s distinctive architecture, history, gardens and culture. These tours provide a rare opportunity for guests to go inside the private houses and gardens of some of America’s most beautiful historic residences, dating to the 18th century.

Charleston has been renowned for three centuries as “a city set in a garden.” The Festival is set during the peak of the city's blooming season, and tours feature seven to ten properties each day in one of eleven neighborhoods, dating from the American colonial period, through the antebellum and Victorian eras, to early 20th century. Beautiful architecture and lush gardens are woven throughout the historic neighborhoods of Charleston, which has consistently been named among the ten most courteous and friendly cities in America.

Exciting special events are planned throughout the Festival. On Friday, March 29, from 4:30-7 pm, the Festival Plantation Picnic and Oyster Roast gives guests the opportunity to experience the unique culinary pleasures of the Carolina Lowcounty at Drayton Hall Plantation. Tickets are $45 for adults and $20 for ages 6-12 and include steamed oysters and other Southern Cuisine. Reservations are required.

Cruise the Charleston Harbor on the “Spirit of Carolina” with historian Ian McDonald on April 2, 16 and 19. Cruises are $45 for adults and $20 for ages 6-12. Cruises depart from the Fountain Walk behind the S.C. Aquarium and include hors d’oeuvres, a wine or beer ticket and soft drinks. Reservations are required and passengers must be ready to board at 1:15 pm as the boat leaves promptly at 1:30 pm.

Special musical concerts are one of the most popular special events. On March 25, “Beethoven on Church Street” will be held at the First Baptist Church; “Bluegrass Jam” will be offered on April 3 at the Circular Congregational Church, and “Ol’ Time Bluegrass,” will conclude the concert series on April 13 at St. Stephen Episcopal Church.

WITNESS TO HISTORY: CIVIL RIGHTS ERA PHOTOGRAPHS

BY JAMES KARALESExhibit at Gibbes Museum January 11-May 12, 2013


Spotlight on the Arts

AAs part of the forthcoming 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation and the 50th anniversary of desegregation in South Carolina public education, the Gibbes Museum of Art is showcasing an iconic collection of Civil Rights era photographs by acclaimed photographer James Karales. Engaged as a photo-journalist for Look magazine, Karales witnessed and documented many historic events during the Civil Rights move-ment and created some of the era’s most iconic images. On view January 11 through May 12, 2013, this exhibition will feature forty vintage photographs from the Estate of James Karales that offer insight into this remarkable period of history – a period in which the visual image was crucial in communicating the struggle for justice to the world.

Born in Canton, Ohio, the son of Greek immigrants, James Karales (1930-2002) graduated from Ohio University in 1955 with a BFA in photography. He studied under celebrated photographer W. Eugene Smith (1918-1978) where he gained skills as a master photographic printer and learned the significance of photography not only as a creative medium but as an important means of communication. One of his first photo-essays documented Rendville, Ohio, a once prosperous, racially integrated coal-mining town that by 1956 had fallen on hard times. Karales’s insightful images of this struggling community were precursors to a career spent capturing the human-ity of people struggling to be free. On assignment for Look magazine in the 1960s, Karales created some of the most indelible images of the Civil Rights movement. In 1962, Karales traveled extensively with Dr. Martin Luther King, and in 1965, he documented the Selma to Montgomery March for Voting Rights. Karales captured

gw1.13.20-21.indd 1 12/7/12 1:05 PM

CHARLESTON’S HISTORIC MARKET is one of the area’s must see attrac-tions. Having survived a tumultuous past, the Market has outlasted tornadoes, hurricanes, a major earthquake and devastation by � res and Civil War bombardment. Over 200 years ago, a wealthy Charleston family willed land to the town of Charleston to be used as a public market, with the stipulation that the property revert to the family if used for any other purpose. To this day, the charming Charleston City Market is a popular destination for visitors and locals alike.

Market Hall faces Meeting Street as the main entrance to four blocks of open-air buildings. One-of-a-kind shops and restaurants have something for every taste. Charleston’s famous carriage tours also depart from the area.

New Discoveries iN the AikeN-rhett house MuseuM


Uniquely Charleston“…been to a great entertainment given by the Governor of South Carolina, Mr. Akin and his lovely wife… Five hundred persons…were invited…the entertainment was one of the most beautiful I have been present at in this country.” – Fredricka Bremer, 1850

The Aiken-Rhett House museum, a property of Historic Charleston Foundation, sur-vives uniquely intact with the presence of several layers of original paint, wallpapers, fur-nishings and outbuildings. Built by John Robinson in 1820 as a simple Federal style townhouse, William Aiken inherited the house in the early1830s. By 1838, it became a magnificent Greek Revival showplace.

Governor Aiken added an art gal-lery by 1858 and displayed more than 30 works of art there. The family purchased many of these works while seeking enlight-enment on a “Grand Tour” of Europe.

The outbuildings include a kitchen house, carriage

house, the ruin of one garden folly as well as evidence of another and two privies. A high brick wall encloses the rear portion of the property and surrounds these structures.

In 2003, the Foundation hired a national team of experts to develop a Historic Structures Report (HSR) of the house to aid as a tool in determining the best path for the property’s future preservation and interpretation. The renowned team had previously studied more than 1000 structures throughout the states of Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina as well as properties abroad. These experts noted that the outbuild-ings were so significant that a separate HSR needed to be developed for them. The Foundation hired the same investigative team in 2011 to study the outbuildings and to determine the best use and interpretation of those spaces. While Governor Aiken, Mrs.

gw1.13.28-29.indd 1 12/7/12 1:17 PM


Aiken, and their daughter Henrietta undoubtedly lived a life of financial privilege, many questions remained regarding the lives and duties of the enslaved African-Americans who lived behind the “big house.”

By December 2011, the team had reached several conclusions. Many findings were made by researching previous archaeology performed at the slave quarters. For example, in the kitchen house, which is separate from the main house, there is a stew stove that is also referred to as a “ragout stove.” It would have allowed the enslaved cooks to execute difficult French sauces more easily than by using a traditional kettle. The Aikens were well-versed in the gastronomic approaches of the period, and high-style French culinary options were employed at this site. Since the Aikens often hosted grand parties with more than 500 guests in attendance, their enslaved staff would have needed every mod-ern convenience to achieve the family’s culinary ambitions.

The living spaces of slave occupants were analyzed as well. In one room, the team found evidence of tack holes for 36" carpeting or sea grass runners. Staff measured the existing sea grass mats in storage on the property and found more than 30 grass mats that all measured the same width.

The team also discovered evidence of several generations of paint that were blue and ochre in hue. These paints would have been quite costly at the time. The mantle at the hearth in the room is Federal in style and was clearly recycled from the Robinson period of 1820. In this same space, they also analyzed wood materials at the windows, which were found to be curtain brackets from the mid-nineteenth century. The team also noticed a large spike in between two windows in the west wall of the same room. This large spike would have held a painting or a mirror. All of this concrete evidence was surprising, as most oral histories of urban slave life do not document this type of accommodation.

In addition, the team studied the stable and the rooms above it, including living quarters and a hayloft. Evidence of costly blue paint was found in one of those living quarters. The investigators were amazed that the hayloft was plastered and painted a deep ochre, which was a fashionable color in the mid- nineteenth century. These findings again show that Governor Aiken was financing embellishments in a work space. According to our investigative team there was no reason to plaster and paint a hayloft. No one besides those that worked there would see it. So the question remains, why had it been finished?

Through careful research and the inclusive and thorough interpretation of historic sites, all visitors can have a better understanding of Charleston’s overall history and the people who lived and worked during the antebellum period. The complexities of slavery have been a part of America’s culture since its founding. Once the HSR study is finalized, Historic Charleston Foundation can interpret the Aiken-Rhett property in an even more comprehensive manner.

The staff of Historic Charleston Foundation will continue to work hard at discovering the stories of those enslaved people who lived at the Aiken-Rhett House: their back-grounds, their families, their roles in the household, and their lives following freedom.

10TH ANNUAL CHARLESTON ANTIQUES SHOW

March 22-24, 2013

Inspired by the rich historical, architectural and cultural heritage of Charleston, the 10th Annual Charleston Antiques Show is a premier destination for collectors and enthusiasts who enjoy seeing and learning about incorporating antiques into modern-day decor. The Antiques Show is a showcase of English, European, and American period furnishings, decorative arts and fine art, architectural elements, garden furniture, vintage jewelry, and silver – all late 17th to 20th centuries.

Founded in 1670, Charleston quickly rose to prominence as the colonies’ most signifi-cant seaport, importing the finest in 18th and 19th century material culture. Today the city’s legacy of Continental, European and Asian influences can still be found in its allur-ing architecture and decorative arts.

Through the Show's educational and entertain-ing special events, collectors have a unique opportunity to purchase and learn more about everything from exquisite furniture and fine art to rare maps, jewelry, posters, prints and quilts.

This year’s event will be held Memminger Auditorium at 56 Beaufain St. Tickets to the show or its special events may be purchased by calling 843-722-3405 or visiting www.historiccharleston.org.

300 YEARS OF HISTORY: THE POWDER MAGAZINE OF SOUTH CAROLINA

Cobblestones of the PastSouth Carolina was first settled in 1670 under the authority of eight landowners – the Lords Proprietors. As a private colony with no formal military presence, self-defense was a constant concern. By the 18th cen-tury the Proprietors had learned the difficulties of managing their colony from afar. They appointed governors to oversee the province from its capital in Charles Town (Charleston). These governors faced many challenges, including competition with Spain and France, conflict with Native Americans and, as the colony grew, slave insurrection.

A Magazine for your Stores of Powder Bullett and other warlike tooles Necessary is greatly wanting. – Governor Nathaniel Johnson, March 7, 1706

In the early 18th cen-tury, plans were made

to build fortified walls around Charles


1963 Gateway

gw1.13.53-55.indd 1 12/7/12 2:06 PM

Town, and Governor Nathaniel Johnson also encouraged the con-struction of a magazine to protect the town’s stores of black powder. In 1712 the proprietary govern-ment hired Colonel William Rhett, Commissioner of Fortifications, to supervise the construction of a gunpowder magazine. When com-pleted the following year, The Powder Magazine could store up to five tons of black powder.

The Powder Magazine was built in the northwest portion of the walled city (present day 79 Cumberland Street), away from most other structures. The Powder Magazine

consists of nine brick pillars, eight on the perimeter and one in the center. The square pillars flare as they ascend to create a vaulted ceiling. The 27-foot-square room has 35-inch-thick perimeter walls. Above the ceiling is a sand-filled attic, covered with a layer of bricks and capped by a pyramidal tile roof.

Although no original plans for The Powder Magazine exist, some historians and archi-tects believe its walls and sand-packed attic were designed to dampen or even contain the energy of an internal explosion. Others speculate that the dense walls and attic were intended to shield the powder from enemy projectiles.

Completed during the final months of Queen Anne’s War (1702-1713), The Powder Magazine immediately played a vital role in the defense of colonial South Carolina. Most notable was its apparent use during the Tuscarora War, the Yamasee War, the Stono Rebellion, King George’s War and The American Revolution. In 1718 several pirates, including the infamous Edward Beard (Blackbeard), held Charles Town hostage. The Powder Magazine supplied Colonel William Rhett and Governor Robert Johnson with powder in their respective missions to capture Stede

Bonnet (The Gentleman Pirate) and to rid the harbor of pirate Captain Richard Worley.

In 1780 British forces laid siege to Charles Town for 42 days. During this time, Continental General William Moultrie ordered the contents of The Powder Magazine trans-ported four blocks away, where it was secreted in the “Exchange cellars.” Despite their lengthy

occupation (1780-82), the British never discovered the hidden gunpowder. The


gw1.13.53-55.indd 2 12/7/12 2:06 PM


American Revolution was the last time gunpowder was stored in The Powder Magazine as part of a military campaign.

Throughout most of the 19th century, property owners used this facility as a print shop, livery stable and for miscellaneous storage. During the Civil War, the Manigault family devoted a portion of this room to the storage of 2,100 bottles of Madeira wine. The Powder Magazine survived the Great Earthquake of 1886, but was left in disrepair. In 1902 The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in The State of South Carolina (NSCDA-SC) purchased the arsenal, initiating one of the first major preserva-tion projects in South Carolina. This organization still maintains the facility today.

In 1993 Historic Charleston Foundation began a 10-year project to finance vital capital improvements and archaeological research at The Powder Magazine. In 2011 the NSCDA-SC redefined the museum’s mission. Beginning in April 2013, with the instal-

lation of a new exhibition, The Powder Magazine will focus on educating the public about South Carolina’s colonial military history. Today, this architectural relic stands as a valuable witness to South Carolina’s rich heritage. As The Powder Magazine enters its 110th year as a museum property, the facility rou-tinely hosts both education programs and private events. The museum’s exhi-bition is open daily for visitation and can easily be located on the Charleston Museum Mile (www.charlestonmu-seummile.org). For information on tours and upcoming events, visit www.powdermag.org or call 843-722-9350.
