DownloadHere are some fascinating stories about the residents of Riverland Terrace:
Anne Worsham Richardson was known for her stunning bird paintings and even operated a bird sanctuary at 2150 Wappoo Hall in Riverland Terrace. She rehabilitated injured birds and often used them as live models for her artwork. She was also the original artist behind South Carolina’s official state bird (Carolina Wren), state flower (Yellow Jessamine), and state butterfly (Eastern Tiger Swallowtail)—such a remarkable legacy!
Another resident of Riverland Terrace with a most interesting story was Prince Sergei M. Poutiatine, a Russian nobleman who fled the Bolshevik Revolution after serving in World War I. Born in St. Petersburg and once married to Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna, he later became a U.S. citizen and settled in Charleston with his second wife, Shirley B. Manning, an American heiress. The couple lived on Wappoo Hall Road until his death in 1966, and Shirley later moved to a historic Lamboll Street home, where she lived until her passing in 1990.
