Bank of South Carolina

The Library Society's Collections were held at this location from 1835 to 1914, when we moved to the present location on King Street.

This building was built in 1798, and currently houses offices for the City of Charleston.

In 1803, William Withers, having recently moved to Charleston but after running out of money (he supposedly gambled his funds away), decided he should replenish his funds through a rather creative bank robbery attempt. For approximately three months, Withers lived underground while digging a tunnel to break into the bank vault. He was discovered and arrested before he ever reached the vault, and the robbery attempt known as the "Ground Mole Plot" was thwarted.
