This is the former site of the Medical College of South Carolina, built in 1827, three years after the college was founded. Designed by Frederick Wesner, the two-story brick building had an Ionic portico and urns along the parapet roof. The portico crashed during the earthquake of 1886 and was never replaced. The Medical College moved to Barre Street in 1914. The building was demolished in 1938 to make way for construction of the Robert Mills Manor.
