Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon

DOWNTOWN. Built by the British in 1771, this public building is one of the nation's most historically rich sites and figured prominently in SC's economic and social life during the Colonial era. Beautifully restored to its original condition, the structure looks the same as it did when George Washington danced in its Grand Hall. The barrel-vaulted dungeon lies beneath the exchange house and is where period criminals and suspected traitors were incarcerated. Tours provided.
