EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Facades of two-story houses, [Alexander Peronneau Tenements, 141 Church Street]," was captured by renowned American photographer Arnold Genthe between 1920 and 1926. The image showcases a charming row of two-story houses located in the heart of Charleston, South Carolina's French Quarter District. The houses, identified as the Alexander Peronneau Tenements, exhibit the distinctive architectural charm of the Southern city. The photograph's composition is a visual feast for the eyes, with each house's facade displaying intricate details that tell stories of a bygone era. The houses feature ornate doors adorned with decorative hardware, shuttered windows, and intricate brickwork. The doors, some with peeling paint and others displaying elegant wrought ironwork, invite the viewer to imagine the lives that once unfolded behind them. The houses' windows, with their shutters closed, add an air of mystery and intrigue, while the brickwork and details on the walls reveal the houses' rich history. The image is a testament to the enduring charm of Charleston's architecture and the importance of preserving the city's heritage. Arnold Genthe, a prolific photographer, captured this image using nitrate negatives, which adds to the photograph's historical significance. The photograph is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's collection and is a reminder of the unique architectural beauty that can be found in the United States, particularly in the Southern cities like Charleston. The image is a must-see for anyone interested in American history, architecture, or simply appreciating the beauty of the past.
