An earlier glimpse of downtown Charleston. Today you can still experience the same charm and beauty of the city...almost as if time has stopped and nothing has changed.

  • Thanks so much to Middleton Place for making this available to so many of us through its on line newsletter. What a fabulous recollection, even saw my first house in Charleston, 75 Church Street. Of course, the film was a product of its time and did not tell the whole story but it was beautiful to see Charleston as it was in the 30's. Judy

  • Fascinating... very little has changed... architecturally that's a good thing... culturally, not so good a thing.

  • Thanks dearest cousin, Alice Marie (Lissie) Seel for sending me the link to a treasure of memories. I was born in 1948, lived the poorer side of life, but that didn't stop us enjoying all the wondrous sights, sounds, and history of Charleston. It's been #1 as the most hospitable place to visit; especially in the month of April when everything is in full bloom.

    I love my dear Charleston and want to live there once again in my remaining days on earth. I now live in another beautiful place, Utah.

  • Great video of the best city in the USA. Only wish tere was some Gullah speaker reciting the Gullah Poem GAWD FIN'UM.

  • I am Charleston born and Charleston bred and when I die I will be Charleston dead!

    I enjoyed this tour even though I see it all the time, I never get tired of my Charleston.

    I just wish the man speaking had had a Charleston accent.

    Charleston has it's own flavor of the Southern accent and it is NOT anything like the Up-State or other Southern cities and states. It is more refined and elegant and not so nasal. One ought to visit Charleston in the Spring, Fall or even Winter.

  • OK, some to the history might not be totally correct but an interesting view of how Charleston was marketed in 1934.
