Description
The Old City Jail constructed in 1802 has been a hospital, poor house, workhouse for runaway slaves, and has housed inmates and slaves, gang members and sea pirates. During the Civil War, Confederate and Federal prisoners were kept here. Sea pirates, plot supporters for slave revolt, and Denmark Vesey were hanged here.The remains provide interesting patterns and textures and make us stop to think about our past.
