He was very nice actually. The one that I didn't like too much was the other one that you can buy joining tickets with. The other one needs a lot of work but that's how they're just leaving it to be preserved like that. But it's it's okay too but this is a really nice house... The only thing I didn't like about these houses was that they give you this thing which looks like a little telephone with headsets but you have to like stick them inside your ear well! I finally did it cuz the lady that was there was a retired nurse and she said oh don't you worry I sanitize everything even the long wire but then when I came back and I forgot which house was it Nathaniel or the other one but when I came back and turned it in some lady some other old lady was there that was supposed to sanitize them and all she did was to spray it from far away and put it back in the pile so I didn't like the fact that when she does it and most people probably they don't really clean it so you are putting this thing in your ear that other people have put in their ear! Ouch! They really need to do something about this but the house is nice

Upper class home decor from a slave trader. There are guided tours and an audio guide.

A cool little piece of history. This dude like them all in the south was a nasty slave owner which the house is owning up to. Refreshing to see. The house and the tour is a great lesson on the southern elites social life and bourgeoisie materialism.

Best to park in city lot. Parking on the Charleston peninsula is at best difficult.
