The South Carolina Historical Society has recently restored the famous Fireproof Building on Washington Square, and opened a museum to the public. The historic 1820’s building was designed by Charleston architect Robert Mills to be completely fireproof, constructed only of stone, brick, iron and glass. I point out details about the Fireproof Building each day on my walking tour, and I recommend the museum as a niche interest for those who are interested in historic manuscripts and architecture.
