First For Use
By J. P.
In 1851, at the suggestion o:
Legislature granted $10,000 f
chapel for the university. -A
care of investigation and arra1
It was decided that with appi
be attained from fees during
chapel could be built.
The edifice was to be constructed
in the center of Sumter Street and
was to be completed by October 1,
1853. The name of the new chapel
was to be College Hall. The hall
was not finished until November
28, 1855 and the cost ran to $29,
482.62. The first services were held
in April of that year when the
first sermon was delivered by
President James H. Thornwell.
President ThornweYl reported
that the building was badly
adapted for the transmission of
sound. An ordinary speaking voice
could not be heard.from the stage,
because of the general confusion
of noises when the hall was filled
with a restless audience. Several
experiments were made by carpet
ing the floor, stuffing the space
between the floor and the base
ment with moss to remedy this de
fect, but all failed. After large
sums had been spent to check the
hearing qualities of the hall, a
storm destroyed part of the roof
the 'year after it was completed and
it was never used as a chapel.
The basement of the building
was fitted up in 1860 as a public
examination hall, and in 1863 it
was turned into a 300-bed hospital
for the Confederate Army. When
the Federal authorities took over
in May, 1865, the chapel was used
by them. The extra session of the
Legislature that convened October
1865, met in this building, the
House in the main hall, the Senate
in the basement. The House of
Representatives moved to the
Clariosophic Hall because of acous
tics.
The adjutant and inspector gen
eral of South Carolina secured per
mission from the board in 1870 to
use College Hall as an arsenal.
The building was used for that
purpose for seven years. In 1885
there was a move to sell the
building and construct a new one
in its stead, but College Hall un
derwent complete renovation and
remained standing.
It was now a three-story build
