MILLS HOUSE
Charleston SC
March 1865
The Mills House was one of the most famous hotels in the
South. Robert E. Lee stood on a balcony in December, 1861,
and watched the great fire that destroyed much of the city.
General P.G.T. Beauregard was a guest until the accuracy
of Federal artillery prompted his departure.
