For Charleston architect Heather A. Wilson, old-house love isn t just an idea; it s a celebrated part of her professional and family life. For years now, she s had a hand in reviving many of the Holy City s historic structures from large-scale renovations to smaller projects like her own 1800s Charleston-style brick home. Our house is still what it s always been that s what makes it special, and we renovated minimally to keep it that way, says Wilson. You re looking at the original walls, slate roof, and fireplace.
