OLD EXCHANGE AND PROVOST DUNGEON

Few buildings reflect Charleston, South Carolina's early history as effectively as the Old Exchange Building and Provost Dungeon. Considered to be one of the three most historically significant Colonial buildings in the United States, the Old Exhange Building is a "must see" when visiting Charleston. Beneath the Old Exchange Building lies the Provost Dungeon, which played an important role in the history of Charles Town, South Carolina and the development of our country. Sturdily constructed in 1781 using a brick barrel vaulted ceiling, the Dungeon, and the remaining floors of the Old Exchange Building, have survived hurricanes, earthquakes, and wars.
