The Calhoun Mansion in Charleston, SC was the filming site of Belvedere...the Home of the Hazards.
The Calhoun Mansion was built in 1876 by George Williams who was a wealthy Southern merchant. This Victorian buliding cost $200,000 to build which was a very big price tag at the time. It is approximately 24,000 square feet, with 35 rooms, a 20 feet by 35 feet Music Room with a 45 foot skylight, 35 fireplaces and a stairwell that reaches 75 feet.
Two design themes run throughout the house: religion and wealth. Tile work depicts the dogwood, symbolic of the cross ; and the clover, denoting the Trinity, is carved into woodwork throughout. Other Victorian hallmarks, such as the Library’s original built-in bookcases, and eleven chandeliers on the first and second floor, are original to the house.
