IMAGE: ON RIGHT -- The Nathaniel Russell House was built in 1808-11 by a Rhode lslander who made a large fortune as a merchant in Charleston. His house is one of the most outstanding Adamesque houses in America. The rectangular three story brick mansion with an octagonal wing on the south side is built of brick with white stone and wood trim. lt has a transomed entrance with an elliptical fanlight, a wrought iron balcony with the monogram of Russell, and a balustraded parapet. lt boasts a free flying staircase rising three floors without visible support, oval roorns, and fine Adamesque decorations. Russell's heirs sold the house to Gov. Robert Francis Withers Allston, who lived here while governor. ln 1870, his executors sold it to the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy. Historic Charleston Foundation bought it in 1955 and has restored it as a house museum and the foundation's headquarters.
