Living in elegant splendor former slave quarters are prom inent families. Oriental and Aubusson rugs carpet floors of the city’s old kitchen houses. Antique furnishings are select ively placed where yesteryear the wheels of Charleston’s horse carriages rested. Such ornate furnishings are typical in tiny 18th and 19th cen- tury out buildings included in the Historic Charleston Foundation’s 1969 “Festival of Houses’ In addition to mini houses, many of the city’s most elegant mansions will be among 53 his toric homes open to the public in March and April. The homes will be featured on six different tours to be spon sored by the Foundation every day (except Easter Sunday) from March 21 through April 8. Experienced guides will be present during each of the three day and three evening candlelight tours to tell the histories of the houses, to point out notable fur nishings and to answer questions. The private homes, dating from 1712, are! open to-the public only during the spring tours, now in theft iX 33i„ MaWL be rsi ing opened this year for the first time. Leading off the tours will be a candlelight tour of Church Street homes and gardens which will be conducted March 21, 26 and 29. A second candlelight tour of Tradd Street homes, March 22, 24 and 28, will take the visitor into the heart of 18th century Charleston. A tour of special note for those interested in restoration will be conducted in Ansonborough March 23, 25 and 27. This six- square-block residential area was until about 10 years ago de clining into one of Charleston’s worst slums. Then in 1959, the Historic Charleston Foundation chose Ansonborough as its pioneer project for area restora tion. . .and one by one the ante bellum homes are being reno vated to their original splendor. Today more than 80 of the 125 pre-Civii War houses in the area have been restored and visitors will have the opportunity to see work in progress on others. Elegant mansions on the east side of Charleston’s historic area will be open to visitors March 30 and April 3 and 7. A new candlelight tour this year will include homes of the lower King Street area, March 31 and April 2 and 5, and mansions on the west side of the city will be open April 1, 4 and 8. Not to be forgotten during the tour season will be the young for whom a special “Time Capsule’ tour has been organized. De signed especially for 7 to 14- year-olds, it will include some of the city’s most historic sights, a trip to the Charleston Naval Base where a ship will be board ed and a visit to the Charleston Museum. To be viewed, or In some in stances entered, on all the tours will be the mini houses. Too often overlooked by the hurried visit or, the tiny houses throughout the historic section are among the city’s most fascinating sights. Built for another day and age, these architectural sidekicks of Charleston’s elegant mansions have proven more than adaptable to modarn living. Many, in fact, have survived the large homes they vers built to serve end to day stand alone • only hinting at the elegance of the bouses they once graced.
