Fodor's Review:

First built in 1825 in late-Federal style, the Edmondston-Alston House was transformed into the imposing Greek Revival structure you see today during the 1840s. Tours of the home—furnished with antiques, portraits, silver, and fine china—are informative.

Cost: $10; $41 with combination ticket for Middleton Place
Open: Tues.-Sat. 10-4:30, Sun. and Mon. 1:30-4:30

Right in the Battery area amid several similar gems, this is a huge plantation style historic house, lovely inside and out with plenty of personal effects. Tour is helpful and informative, price on the high side. Has a nice view of the harbor and Ft. Sumter. Well worth the visit.
