- Welcome to 54 Tradd Street in Charleston, South Carolina! This building was the main post office for the city from 1800--1812 and was constructed around 1740 by William Vanderhorst. This three story stuccoed masonry structure is considered one of the earliest examples of a Charleston single house.
Today, owners, Betsy and Ridley Wills show us around their beautiful home that is full of antiques and whimsical art.

It’s a real treat and privilege being invited to someone’s home. I enjoyed learning a little tidbit about how they met.
Betsy and Ridley, thank you for opening your home to us!

I love homes in South Carolina and Texas the most. They're so well decorated
Such a charming home, it’s no wonder that the owners welcome many guests. Their enthusiasm for life and home is infectious! Thank you both.🌸

Very very special home as are the owners ! It's truly a collected home.
I love 💕 how much this couple loves each other! Fabulous episode. My home recently won the Lake Forest 🌳 preservation award. Such an honor. I can appreciate their desire to maintain the integrity of this historic home 🏡
I love this house is sou beautiful , I love the decor and all gorgeous arts and wall.Thank you very much to this amazing wonderful ❤couple😍
Lovely couple in the beautiful house! Thanks for the video 😍😎
It has all been said...a lovely couple and a beautiful home. I love how they praise and adore one another. Wishing you many happy decades to grow old in your home -- and put those elevators to great use. 🙏🏻❤️
The house is stunning! The couple is my absolute favorite though!!! You can feel how much they care for each other! Great episode!
Absolutely stunning! Love these two people coupling.❤
Great episode!
Love the library 📚❤️
Lovely couple! Their home exudes their intellect, playfulness and beauty. Great tour thanks for sharing.
Another spectacular home! The owners are charming and the contemporary art gives a freshness to this historic home.
The Yellow Dog is beyond precious, and the house is so interesting with the juxtaposition of the modern and the old. Lovely people for sure!
Loved Loved Loved this tour! This lovely couple made the tour so personal and genuine in explaining their home. The fun fabrics, elegant rooms and appointments, old antiques and the latest artwork is a great combo making their home comfortable and inviting.
You two are fabulous 🎉
Very special home and nice family!!
I thought this episode was charming. The couple was cute as well, however, I had a difficult time when Ridley kept referring to the Annex. In the 1700s, we all know what this Annex was. This is most likely the home where the enslaved lived. To minimize the history that the main post office had slave quarters is like they were trying to erase history. Let’s just call it what it was.
To be fair to Ridley and Betsy, one cannot say that it was their intent to exclude that information or that "they were trying to erase history." That is major reach and a rush to judgment for people we don't know.
Perhaps the owner of this channel made the decision to not cover it or (not surprising) they just don't know? There are many aspects to American history that Americans of all backgrounds do not know or were not taught. Please use moments like this as an opportunity to teach with grace, and not condemnation. This is one of the very few channels that unites and brings people of all backgrounds, and places joy.
What a fun tour! Charleston is one of our favorite places.
Stunning home and charming couple. Loved it!
This home is absolutely stunning! The couple is also!!!👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Thank you, that was wonderful. I watched from New Zealand.
What a delightful couple and home. Always love having the partner involved with the episodes. Delightful. Love the Rebus plates too - how fun! Congrats to all. Thank you.
What a treat to see this very special home! And, such a lovely couple!
Loved the house, simply beautiful and great use of space. A beautiful, friendly couple.
What a gorgeous home.
Absolutely stunning and beautiful house 😍😍😍
What a beautiful, well thought out reno! Joyful décor, indeed!
Betsy and Ridley, you are my very favorite Home Worthy ever. What a charming couple you are with all the love and respect you both have for each other. I love your home and everything you did.
That was pure pleasure. Thank you for a well-done documentary of a Southern restoration. A camelia bowl. Who knew? Lovely couple and so generous with their talent.
Beautiful home! Love old homes, so much charm and character
Stunning.
Yep - thats a great house
How beautiful the drapes of the guest room are!
Such a fabulous home.❤ It's creative, luscious and the colors are exciting but soothing. Great job! I'm available for tea at anytime.
What a fabulous home!!! From Yellow Dog to mini circus, just enchanting! One of the best episodes
What a wonderful life they've laid before themselves. The house is the cream of the cake. Well done.... beautiful!
Gorgeous home-so many interesting and unique items. Very well done.
What a fabulous couple! It's so exciting to see such a beautiful home that's a blend of history and contemporary art. And to think that it's their second home! Would love to see their primary residence! Thank you for sharing!!!!
I live in Australia and after seeing this thought I’d like to visit this city. Gorgeous couple and home. Loved it
I adore this charming home and I also enjoy the way the couple play off one another instead of competing. It was heartwarming to witness, i.e., you can tell they love and have a healthy respect for one another. Lovely…👀💕🤗
Love listing to people speak enthusiastically about their home and the stuff in it. Fun episode.
The artwork is wonderful!
Love everything about this house and its wonderful history.
As a 3-D artist and chef, I especially enjoyed your beautiful and lively home! Thank you both for being advocates for adventurous creativity and originality. Love your orange sofa!
How wonderful to live in such a beautiful home. Such a blessing to share it with us Ty:)
Wow what a beautiful house. I think it is now one of my favorites on this channel. I love everything they chose, I loved this couple so much.
Thank you for sharing your charming home. 🌸😍
Stunning home! And in Charleston, SC too! It’s just perfect. ❤️
This was the best home tour. I feel like Ive know the Wills for years.
What a beautiful home. I appreciate their generosity in sharing the history and story of their home. It is so stunning. It will be lovely to walk around Charleston and know what is inside this historic post office ❤
Gracious couple.
Love their enthusiasm.
I love this couple, and I love their home, their style is gracious, comfortable and style.
Very nice home and pride of ownership shows
Absolutely beautiful home and what fun!!! 🧡
Thanks so much for sharing 🍊
One of the most refreshing and original Homeworthy homes I've seen in a very long! I've watched this 3x already (Note to the channel administrator it was hard to find given it's unlisted available???)
Betsy should be art consultant lol. Ridley and Betsy fed off each other very well and did magnificent job on highlighting the key things. Ridley's passion about the architecture and history was so delightful! The architect I used last summer had none of that - i had to be the one to suggest ideas and thoughts sigh.
Does Ridley work with clients in the NE👀??? Terrific job in stewarding such a gem😊. Seen too many historic houses depleted out of their character without any consideration of the architecture and historical aspects of the house and the same decor and finishes. Bravo.
What a charming couple. The house oodles with their charm. I wish these were people I knew 😊
What a great house! And, what a wonderful restoration you've done!
This was one of the best home tours I’ve seen. The couple was so genuine and down to earth and explained things so well without seeming braggy in the least. Also so cute how they truly liked each other and respected each other, not to mention the house and grounds are gorgeous! Their art collection is divine! I love the playful nature of their decorating style. So joyful and inspiring!
Beautiful, timeless kitchen. Just brilliant🎉🎉 and adorable couple, guy/girl next door😂😂
Gorgeous ❤❤❤
What a stylish home. Love the diversity of the art. This couple has soul! It's evident by their choices and decisions. I love this city. What a treat to get to see inside this fabulous home.
Amazing couple!
This home is amazing! You would never know it was ever a post office!
Lovely couple! Beautiful historic home with interesting art.
La mirada de Betsy a Ridley, DICE TODO! Demuestra que hay comunicación, admiración.. Cariño; Hermosa casa : Está llena de antigüedades y arte . Su casa Me encanto!! Betsy and Ridley, Thank you !
stunningly beautiful
The wood carving outside of the bar with Jesus at the top, standing on Elvis's head, standing on a Black man (possibly someone like Martin Luther King, Jr.),standing on Hitler's head, standing on Satan's head, with some writing on the wood block below Satan starting with "Be it good or be it.." I'm curious as to what the writing says, and why anyone would think that this is a good thing to hang in their house in the South?
I mean, I'm into kooky art, but this seems like it's in poor taste.
The house itself is renovated in an interesting way. Some of it plainly left to be mostly in its original styling, some of it modernized. I hope that they love the way it turned out, and that they eventually get on here to explain that piece of art.
A lovely couple with an amazing home. Thank you for sharing it with us!
beautiful couple and house AND art. loved every minute of this video, thanks a lot!
This family is warm and inviting. It was very easy to watch until the end.
Totally enjoyed today's video, the host and hostess were very charming with their presentation of their home... Luv when the story lines behind each piece is very authentic.
Beautifully done home. I'm drawn to homes with fabulous art and this one doesn't disappoint. I immediately looked up that vegetable tree fabric because it is so gorgeous--I love beautiful textiles and the historical details were so interesting. Just lovely.
The gold stem peach shade bedside lights in the bedroom with the deck are so stunning. I have never seen anything so beautiful.
Absolutely Gorgeous thank for sharing ❤❤❤
Love Charleston..this is my favorite home and couple so far…❤❤
Beautiful home. I enjoyed this couple. Would love to spend an evening sharing a meal with them.
Outstanding home! Love the colors.
I think this is my favorite home so far. So classic without the clutter. Great taste and looks very welcoming.
This was so charming. Their art collection is eclectic and wonderful and I love the passion for older homes!
A 2nd floor library is such a good idea. Cozy. Elevated views. Private.
VERY enjoyable episode! Beautiful home and playful furnishings. Love the history and backstories. Gracious homeowners…thank you both so much for sharing your interesting home with us!!
I love this beautiful home.
I loved everything about this tour! They are such a lovely and interesting couple, I could listen to for hours. I loved the home and it's decor. I would love to stay in that beautiful blue guest room!!
