A notable example of Greek Revival architecture in Charleston has hit the market. The Chisolm-Alston House located at 172 Tradd St., in the South of Broad neighborhood, is for sale.

Built in 1834, the residence features Corinthian columns inspired by the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates in Athens — a rare feature in residential architecture. The home has undergone restoration efforts aimed at preserving its historic character while incorporating modern amenities.
The grounds feature mature landscaping with live oaks, magnolias, palmettos, and camellias. Designer Carolyne Roehm led interior updates, including fabric-upholstered walls, curated wallpapers, and artisan finishes. Standout features include a flying staircase and a gourmet kitchen.
The home’s flying staircase makes a architectural statement.

In the past, the home sat right on the Ashley River before the land was reshaped in the early 1900s. During the Civil War, this area saw some naval activity, adding to the home’s historical story.

South Carolina Ports isn’t just moving cargo — it’s driving our entire state forward, creating billions in economic impact and hundreds of thousands of high-paying jobs.
Each year, SC Ports pumps $87 billion into our state’s economy, including $10.7 billion right here in the Lowcountry. Plus, the port system supports 1 in 9 jobs across South Carolina.
As the No. 8 container port in the country, SC Ports makes our state a magnet for businesses looking to invest and grow, creating even more opportunities for South Carolinians.
Or, as SC Ports CEO Barbara Melvin says, “We’re a port for the entire state, and you can see that impact in every region with new investment and high-paying jobs.”
