Episode 77: The Watch House: SC’s First Police Station, 1701–1725 - Charleston Time Machine

from Charleston Time Machine · host Nic Butler, Ph.D.

South Carolina’s first police station was a brick “Watch House” constructed around 1701 at the intersection of Broad and East Bay Streets in Charleston. Built to shelter both the town’s nocturnal watchmen and the lawbreakers they caught on the streets at night, the Watch House was once a vital part of daily life in early Charleston.
