Exchange and Provost Building, Colonial museum in Charleston, United States.
The Exchange and Provost Building features a prominent two-story masonry structure with a hipped roof and three round-arch openings on the first floor.
The British Colonial Government completed this structure in 1771, establishing it as the economic and political center of South Carolina during the colonial period.
The Great Hall hosted the election of South Carolina delegates to the Continental Congress and the state convention that ratified the United States Constitution.
Located at 122 East Bay Street, the museum opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM with admission fees of 16 dollars for adults and 12 dollars for children.
The cellar served as a Provost jail during the Revolutionary War, where British forces held prisoners in underground chambers beneath the building.
