The Charleston Historic District, also known as Charleston Old and Historic District, is a historic district in Charleston, South Carolina.[3][4] It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960.[2]
When initially listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1966, the district was defined as "An area roughly bounded by Broad, Bay, S. Battery and Ashley and an area along Church bounded by Cumberland and Chalmers".[1] The district area has subsequently been increased five times, in 1970, 1978, 1984, 1985, and 1986. It includes 81 contributing properties and 700 or more other properties. A map is here.
There are two other historic districts in Charleston that also are listed on the National Register:
