The (Old) Orangeburg County Jail, also known as The Pink Palace, is a historic jail located at Orangeburg, Orangeburg County, South Carolina. It was built between 1857 and 1860, and is a two-story, rectangular, cement-covered brick building in the Late Gothic Revival style. It features a crenellated main tower and corner turrets. General William Tecumseh Sherman’s troops burned the building in February 1865; it was subsequently restored.[2][3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
Orangeburg County inmates are now kept in the Orangeburg-Calhoun Regional Detention Center.[4]
