Charleston City Hall, Town hall in Charleston, United States
The neoclassical structure features white marble trim from Italy and a semicircular projection on its northern facade with characteristic round basement windows.
Gabriel Manigault designed this building in 1801 as a branch of The First Bank of the United States before its conversion to City Hall in 1818.
The building stands at an intersection known as Four Corners of Law, representing municipal authority alongside state, federal, and religious institutions.
The second-floor council chamber continues to function as the primary location for Charleston city government meetings and administrative operations.
Local carpenters Edward Magrath and Joseph Nicholson constructed the building using red brick walls, which received a stucco covering in 1882.
