The huge Calhoun Mansion was built by the grandson of the famous Calhoun. Comprised of thirty rooms and thirty fireplaces. The mansion fell into ruins after being inhabited by the Navy and turned into a multi-family lodging. The Navy painted the interior battle ship grey...even over the ornate ceiling! (Horrors!) Fifteen years and five million dollars were put in to restore this mansion and bring it back from condemnation. The current owner is an antique owner and he moved in eight semi loads of his collection. The huge rooms were absolutely packed with his collection! We were not allowed to take pictures inside the mansion but could photograph the entry and the gardens!
