It is amazing that the owner of this house museum lets people come into his home and let people see the magnificent collection from all over the world.The only thing is the regular tour is only 30 min. long and there is so much to see. I would love to do the 90 min grand tour of the whole house.... more

On our recent trip to Charleston, I put the Calhoun Mansion on my list of places to see because of other reviews on Trip Advisor. The home and gardens are beautiful in the Charleston tradition.

If you're interested in Louis Comfort Tiffany, this is the house for you. The hand stenciled ceilings and incredible chandeliers are incredible. When you add all of the antiques that... more

The elegant, well-manicured garden with beautiful statues, fountains, and brick walkways beckon you to see a similar extraordinary mansion. I was overwhelmed when the front door opened into a whole world of not only 1870's Victorian masterpiece of architecture but post 1800 Tiffany decorating and lighting fixtures. In addition I was invited into a private home whose owner shared with... more
