"Charleston is a great place for architecture.  I learned about 'piazzas,' earthquake bolts, and Freedmen's cottages.  I also learned that if you see a pineapple on the door, it is a sign of welcome.  This internship was a great experience to put into practice what I have learned and this opportunity helped me grow both professionally land personally."The Historic Charleston  Foundation is a long-term partner of the US/ICOMOS International Intern Program.  In 2005, Flaminia Poloni of Italy spent her internship documenting the Anderson House (formerly the Daniel Cannon House, built 1802-15).  She also had the opportunity to live in the historic Jenkins Mikell House (ca. 1854) during her stay in  Charleston.
