20th Century Streetcar Suburb: Exploring North Central
- October 10, 2026
Classic House & Garden Tour: North Central
Join us as we explore the North Central neighborhood of Charleston with its array of kit homes, Craftsman bungalows, vernacular cottages, and American Foursquare homes. Known for its tree streets: Poplar, Maple, Peachtree, and Cypress, North Central has character all its own. Learn more about early 20th century Charleston, who lived and worked in these areas of the city, and why this mixed use, walkable neighborhood is still serving its community over 100 years later.
House & Garden Tours take place from 2-5 PM and feature a unique set of 6-8 properties in a different neighborhood each weekend. Enjoy a self-guided tour, going from site to site at your leisure, where our volunteer docents are stationed to share knowledge about the history, architecture, and landscapes.
