The Charleston Renaissance
Alice Smith was a major figure of the Charleston Renaissance. Through her art and her books, she fueled the cultural and economic revival of her birthplace along with other artists, writers, and preservationists. As a noted illustrator, she contributed visuals to two volumes her father, the historian D. E. H. Smith, authored on Charleston history and architecture. The Dwelling Houses of Charleston (1917) was considered a seminal publication on architectural history of the city. Her drawings of historic homes and neighborhoods inspired Charlestonians to institute a preservation ordinance.
