The Charleston Plantation exemplifies Antebellum architecture, which is the neoclassical style characteristic of the Southern United States, especially the Old South. Plantation mansions make use of Greek Revival, Classical Revival, and Federal-style architectural elements. They are symmetrical and cubed in proportion with balconies, covered porches, and columns or pillars. Stately and elegant, the homes feature traditional interiors decorated with antiques. Venetian mirrors, crystal chandeliers, ornate wallpaper, detailed molding, and floral, damask, and velvet upholstery capture the romance of the home's European heritage.
