The Old Exchange Building, located at the very end of Broad Street, is one of the most significant pre-colonial buildings in the United States. In fact, the Declaration of Independence was first read in South Carolina from its balcony. It’s been a customhouse, mercantile exchange and military prison and barracks, not to mention its modern day role in lots of weddings and parties.
One of the coolest aspects of the building (well, it is now, but maybe not back in the day) is what’s downstairs — the Provost Dungeon, where the British locked up some very nasty people. The building is open for tours during the day and at night Bulldog Tours leads a spookyvisit to the dungeon.
