South Carolina Society Hall is one of the grand buildings fronting lower Meeting Street. Completed in 1804, built as a meeting house for The South Carolina Society and as a school for female orphans and indigents, it now hosts social events ranging from weddings to bar mitzvahs… and every Wednesday evening for much of the year, Cotillion — dance school for the children of Charleston.
Kids not wanting to be late to Cotillion. Note the blue blazers, long dress and white gloves.
And, to make the building that much more interesting, it’s reported that there are still cannonballs from the Civil War bombardment of Charleston lodged in the trusses in the attic.
