Nathaniel Russell House, Federal architecture mansion in Charleston, United States
The three-story neoclassical residence at 51 Meeting Street features geometrically shaped rooms, formal gardens, and intricate plasterwork ornamentation throughout its interior spaces.
Merchant Nathaniel Russell constructed this residence between 1803 and 1808, establishing it as his family home while operating his trading business in colonial Charleston.
The property includes preserved slave quarters, revealing the complex social dynamics of early nineteenth-century Charleston through its architectural layout and spatial arrangements.
The Historic Charleston Foundation offers guided tours of the restored mansion from 10:00 AM to 4:15 PM daily, allowing visitors to explore its period-accurate interiors.
A free-flying cantilevered staircase spans three floors, with each step supporting those above and below through an engineering method that creates a flowing spiral design.
