The next year the college moved into this building which was called The Citadel because of how it looked (a fortress). Cadets from The Citadel were the first to fire shots in the Civil War on January 9, 1861.
The college was relocated to another campus in 1922. This building was used for government offices until it was turned into a hotel in 1994.
