National Republic Ballroom

Feel as though you are entering another era as you walk into this street level ballroom. The 22' recessed textured ceilings that have been immaculately preserved, provide an elegant setting for larger events. This space can accommodate up to 300 guests in a reception setting.

Twin Vaults

In the 1920's the twin vaults stood behind the teller counter in the middle of what is today the National Republic Ballroom. Historical markers on the ground signify the moving of the vaults to the back of the building in 1950. Today, the two vault entrances create a perfect in and out flow for events.

1208 Washington Place features original 1924 bank vaults, crown molding, recessed textured ceilings, vintage floors, and Doric order columns. Modern updates include vintage-style chandeliers, LED lighting, exposed ducting, new carpet and central air & heat. The building has been on the National Historic Register of South Carolina since 1980.
