Description:
The Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon in Charleston, SC is a historic building constructed in the 18th century. Originally used as a public market and custom house, it played a crucial role in Charleston's trade and commerce during colonial times. The Provost Dungeon, located in its basement, served as a grim prison for American prisoners of war and political detainees during the American Revolution. Today, the building operates as a museum, preserving Charleston's colonial history and offering insights into the harsh realities endured by prisoners in the dungeon.
