United States Postal Service
Evan G.

The United States Postal Service Post Office location on Folly Road on James Island is a great place to take care of all of your mailing and postal needs. I am continually impressed with their level of customer service and how easy they make everything and keep everything moving at an efficient pace. It is good to know that this post office will be there to help you and be reliable.

Self service.  Love this option
Mark L.

The role of a US Postal employee is a very challenging role. You help process thousands of pieces of mail daily and it takes an amazing logistics process and information system to manage that level of service. The customer service team behind the counter of this location are incredibly nice. They generally always have a smile and know how to process any request small or large. This is a high volume spot for the Charleston County area catering to folks from James Island to Johns Island to West Ashley and even a few perhaps from downtown. That is where the challenge lies. Service is slow. Any regular will tell you and you have to brace yourself no matter what time of day. A solution has been found - Automated package processing. This machine will ask the same questions, weigh your package, give you options and print you labels without any need for people or lines. If you are comfortable with the automated process and don't need stamps this is a great solution. Location is good and bad. Being on the corner of Central and Folly, traffic can be a bit hard coming in and out, but you can manage with patience. Overall, they work hard and do it with a smile, but service traditionally is slow and the location can be a bit difficult if you are looking to be in and out quickly.

There have been days when no mail was delivered on this route, or delivered after 7 pm. Why is Lawton Bluff the route no one wants?

Four Corners of Law - Historical Courthouse

I've toured the area and have worked in the Courthouse researching titles to properties. The…read morehistoric documents found were astonishing! From slaves having been given to family members and business owners, it amazes me still that slavery was a trade! It truly is shocking!!!

Why is it called the Four Corners of Law?…read more This four corners in Charleston is pretty cool. Nothing like the Four Corners Monument we visited in 2012 that marked the quadripoint in the Southwestern US (where the states of AZ, CO, NM, and UT meet). No, this four corners intersection are made of historic buildings -- Courthouse and US Post Office,, State Courthouse, City Hall, and the St. Michael's Church. 1- United States Post Office and Courthouse - 1896 Post Office, representing the federal government 2- State Courthouse - this 1792 courthouse represents county government 3- City Hall -symbolizes city government which begun in 1800 4- St. Michael's Church - the church was built between 1752 and 1761 and depicts ecclesiastical law These amazing historic structures are located on the southwest corner intersection of Meeting and Broad Streets in downtown Charleston. For our Monday visit the streets were pretty empty due to Covid and I was able to get some nice shots of the buildings. Interesting trivia: The Four Corners of Law was coined in the 1930s by Robert Ripley, creator of Ripley's Believe it or Not! and it has been called that ever since. Review #1847

Charleston City Hall

3.1 miFrench Quarter

The building that stands at 80 Broad St. now was built between 1800 and 1804 to serve as a bank…read more However, the bank failed and by 1818 it had become City Hall. It is a fascinating building and one that most people probably do not think to set foot in for something other than City business. It's really worth the visit. The most famous piece of art is a painting by John Trumbull of George Washington during his visit to Charleston in 1791 -- and, very significantly, Washington's horse. Incidentally, City Hall is part of what Robert Ripley (Yes, folks same Ripley's Believe it or Not! fame) called the "Four Corners of the Law." The four buildings on each corner of Market and Broad represent four different arms of the law- 1. City Hall (local), 2. The Charleston County Courthouse (state), 3. The U.S. Post Office and Federal Courthouse (Federal), and 4. St. Michael's Episcopal Church (ecclesiastical). Admission is free and restroom too ;)

Charleston City Hall is the oldest, continuously used city hall building in the United States. It…read morewas built in 1801 originally as a branch of the National Bank of the United States. It is architecturally beautiful and is open to the public for limited tours of the City Council Chambers which includes beautiful, historic artwork on the walls. There are also very nice public bathrooms on the ground level including a water fountain. Adjacent to the building is Washington Park, a historic centuries old park commemorating President George Washington's visit to Charleston in 1791. Behind City Hall is the South Carolina Historical Society Museum which is absolutely also worth a visit if you are into historic buildings and artifacts.

The Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon

4.3(130 reviews)
3.3 miFrench Quarter

Visited: February 16, 2026…read more The Old Exchange & Provost Dungeon was the perfect blend of history and hustle. From the moment you step onto the grounds, you feel the weight of Charleston's past. Inside, the immersion begins immediately -- postcards, patches, and meaningful souvenirs that make it easy to bring a little history home for friends and family. The highlight, though, was the tour. Our guide was a jolly local with razor-sharp, dry Southern wit -- the kind of storyteller who can pivot from Revolutionary War imprisonment to a perfectly timed sarcastic aside without missing a beat. Equal parts charm and "bless your heart," she made centuries-old history feel present and personal. Down in the Provost Dungeon, those brick walls carry gravity. British occupation. Prisoners of war. Pirates passing through. It's one of those rare spaces where you instinctively lower your voice. You don't just learn history -- you feel it. History hit different here. If you appreciate immersive storytelling, preserved architecture, and a tour that balances education with personality, this is absolutely worth your time.

Fact: Provost Dungeon is older than our country!…read more The British originally owned it and used it as a commercial exchange and customs house. Also used as a post office, prison, and city hall, it is currently a museum. In addition, in 1788 South Carolina approved the US Constitution here. Yet another testament to the rich history of Charleston, Old Exchange, and Provost Dungeon a fascinating places to visit. Built in 1771, it has changed roles countless times: it was a British dungeon during the American Revolution, an elegant hall during George Washington's 1791 visit to Charleston, and a meeting place for the ratification of the Constitution, In 1780 the British occupied Charleston for two years and housed many prisoners in one large cell in this basement making it a provost, or dungeon. Because of the awful conditions here, disease was rampant due to crowding, and no bathroom facilities. Under these conditions, many people died while in prison here. This prison held all types of people, including American and British soldiers, private citizens, and slaves. The first and second floor of the building is home to a museum dedicated to the other uses of the Exchange Building. Fee: Admission to this historic building is only $12 for adults. For a small fee, a guided tour through the lower level and you can learn a lot from the guide.
