This is a clip from a one hour documentary my team and I made in 1990 for Turner Broadcasting, for Ted Turner really, about the State of South Carolina. We conducted careful casting to find the right folks to represent South Carolina.
This is Mirabelle Howe, who was a prominent figure in Charleston. She was filmed in her home, known as the Mirabelle Howe House. It became museum, celebrated for its architectural beauty and historical significance, providing a window into the life and times of Charleston's past.
The Mirabelle Howe House is a prime example of Charleston's historic architecture. The house features a combination of Georgian and Federal styles, which were popular during the period it was built. Its elegant design includes a grand staircase, high ceilings, intricate moldings, and original hardwood floors.
The house was meticulously preserved to reflect the period during which Mirabelle Howe lived. It offers insights into the domestic life of Charleston's elite in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The furnishings, artwork, and decor are carefully curated to maintain historical accuracy.
The museum showcases various exhibits that highlight the history of Charleston and the life of Mirabelle Howe. This includes personal artifacts, period clothing, and documents that provide context to the social and cultural environment of the time. The museum also hosts rotating exhibits that focus on different aspects of Charleston's history.
The surrounding gardens and grounds of the Mirabelle Howe House are also a point of interest. The beautifully landscaped gardens feature a variety of native plants and flowers, reflecting the traditional Charleston garden style. These gardens offer a peaceful retreat and add to the overall charm of the museum.
Charleston is one of the oldest cities in the U.S. It played a significant role in American history, including the Civil War. It is home to numerous battlefields and historic sites from the Revolutionary War, including Cowpens and Kings Mountain
