Contemplating the sheer age of a city like Charleston, a certain degree of loss is not only expected, it is unavoidable. As it is said, though, not all that is lost is forgotten, and Charlestonians have long memories. Through historic records, plats, maps and modern archaeology, the “Holy City” still holds onto these once quite prominent spaces and places, now mostly torn down, burned up, paved over or otherwise just vanished. Join Grahame Long, Director of Museums for Historic Charleston Foundation and author of Lost Charleston for a closer examination of that which once was. A book signing will follow.
