The David Ramsay House is an historic home in Charleston, South Carolina. It was built before 1740.Dr. David Ramsay (historian) arrived in Charleston in 1773 after graduating from the University of Pennsylvania and made his home at 92 Broad Street soon after. He practiced as a doctor; he was the first person to introduce a smallpox vaccine into Charleston. But he is better known for his political service. Dr. Ramsay also served in the Continental Congress from 1782 to 1786 and in the South Carolina House of Representatives from 1776 to 1783. Later, from 1801 to 1815, he was a state senator.The Georgian woodwork in the house, especially in the main parlor on the first floor, is particularly fine.

The John Lining House is one of the oldest houses in Charleston. Although the lot upon which the house stands was first conveyed to French Huguenot immigrant Jaques DeBordeaux in 1694, it is uncertain when the house was built; the first mention of a house appears in a 1715 deed by which the property, including a dwelling, was conveyed to William Harvey, Jr. In 1757, the house was received by Mrs. Sarah Lining, the wife of Dr. John Lining. Although the couple owned the house for less than one year before transferring it to John Rattray, Dr. Lining's name stuck as the name of the dwelling. In 1780, the building was acquired by Dr. Andrew Turnbull, the founder of New Smyrna, Florida, who opened in the house the first of a long series of apothecary shops which remained until 1960. In 1960, the house was in danger of being demolished, but it was bought by the Preservation Society of Charleston in late 1961 and restored at a cost of $75,000.

Charleston County Courthouse (1790–92) is a Neoclassical building in Charleston, South Carolina, designed by Irish architect James Hoban. It was a likely model for Hoban's most famous building, the White House, and both buildings are modeled after Leinster House, the current seat of the Irish Parliament in Dublin.President George Washington visited Charleston on his Southern Tour in May 1791, may have met with Hoban, and summoned the architect to Philadelphia, the national capital at the time, in June 1792. The following month, Hoban was named the winner of the design competition for the presidential mansion, later named the White House, in Washington, D.C. He later altered his design under Washington's influence.In 1883–1884, the courthouse underwent a large renovation performed by Kerrigan & Grant.The Courthouse remains in use, located in the historic district near the park at Washington Square. It was built on the site of and incorporated the ruins of the South Carolina Statehouse (1753, burned 1788), the capitol building for the Colony of South Carolina under British colonial rule. Hoban also designed a new statehouse building nearby, which was burned down during the Civil War.

Court House Square is the location of Charleston County Courthouse in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, at the intersection of Meeting and Broad Streets. It is historically known as "the Four Corners of Law" because the intersection hosted buildings from each level of government: the Courthouse (state law), City Hall (municipal law), the Federal Building and U.S. Post Office (federal law), and Saint Michael's Episcopal Church (canon law). Charleston County Courthouse (1790–92) was designed by the Irish-born American architect James Hoban. President George Washington visited Charleston in May 1791, may have met with Hoban, and summoned the architect to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (the temporary national capital) in June 1792. The following month, Hoban was named winner of the design competition for The White House in Washington, DC.The Courthouse itself is still in use, located in the historic district near the park at Washington Square.

Hibernian Hall is a historic meeting hall and social venue at 105 Meeting Street in Charleston, South Carolina, United States. Built in 1840, it is Charleston's only architectural work by Thomas Ustick Walter, and a fine example of Greek Revival architecture. The wrought iron gates were made by Christopher Werner, a German-American master ironworker in Charleston. The hall is nationally significant for its use during the 1860 Charleston Convention, in which the Democratic Party, divided by opinions on slavery, failed to select a presidential nominee, ensuring victory for the anti-slavery Republican Party in the 1860 presidential election. The building was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1973. The building continues to be used as a function and meeting space today.

The Ralph Izard is a pre-Revolutionary house at 110 Broad St., Charleston, South Carolina. Although the house is known as the Ralph Izard House, it was likely built by a former owner, William Harvey. The house was listed in the will of Izard of September 1757, but Izard had only acquired the parcel three months before his death.In 1837, the house was sold to Joel Roberts Poinsett and Mary Poinsett. They held the house for more than twenty years before selling it to Judge Mitchell King, a municipal judge and trustee for the College of Charleston. Among his descendants who occupied the house was George D. Bryan, a mayor of Charleston.

The Charleston City Hall is a building designed by Gabriel Manigault. The city bought the building and began using it as Charleston's City Hall in 1819, making it the second longest serving city hall in the United States (second only to New York City's). The site of City Hall was a beef market in 1739, but the market was destroyed in a fire in 1796, and the corner parcel was conveyed to the Charleston branch of the First Bank of the United States in 1800. The construction of the bank was overseen by Edward Magrath and Joseph Nicholsen (carpenters) and by Andrew Gordon (mason).While the building was being repairs in 1882, the mayor worked out of Market Hall and other city officials worked from the Union Bank on East Bay Street and the Mills House. The building was modified in 1882 when the stucco was applied over the formerly exposed brickwork, and a metal roof was added. The interior of the building was gutted at that time, and the current City Council chambers on the second floor were built. Henry Oliver was paid $14,000 as the contractor. The 1882 project had three missions: (1) a new roof, (2) accommodating all city offices, and (3) convenient public access. The work began on May 1, 1881, and the interior was entirely stripped out, leaving only the exterior walls. The council chambers are 25' by 45' and 22' high. The room was carpeted in 1882 with the mayor's seat along the south side with black walnut desks arranged in a semicircular plan for the member of city council. A gallery with a metal railing overlooks to chamber on the north, east, and west sides. The exterior of the building was changed in 1882. The exposed brick was stuccoed over, the walls were raised five feet, and a new roof was installed. The windows were changed to French windows with walnut frames.The council chambers were again modified following the earthquake of 1886 with Victorian woodwork.The 1886 Earthquake damaged the exterior, and large chunks of marble broke loose and fell off the building even in 1897. The heating system exploded on November 9, 1897, and water infiltrated the building too. Rumors circulated that City Council was investigating the demolition of the building which the local newspaper described as being "neither an ornament nor a landmark" that was rapidly becoming a "veritable death trap." A committee charged with deciding the response favored demolishing and replacing City Hall as did City Council in a unanimous vote, but the cost of building an adequate replacement for the prominent corner prompted the restoration instead.Contracts were executed in August 1898 for the new round of repairs and improvements. Work in 1898 included recoating the building with cement. New heaters were also installed, and the office configuration was changed. A plan for a two-story addition to the north facade was proposed, but the change was abandoned. Officials began returning to the repaired building in late February 1899.In 2003, city officials began discussing restoration of the building, noting that the 1886 earthquake repairs had not been done well in the first place. The expected cost of repairing the building and stabilizing it against future earthquake damage was expected to cost $5 million, but some officials suspected the price would far exceed that amount. The building reopening on June 12, 2007, after extensive restorations.City Hall has many notable paintings on display including a full-length portrait of George Washington by John Trumbull and a portrait of James Monroe by Samuel B. Morse.
