Story

Overview

Detailed reality capture and documentation of the Old City Jail, one of Charleston's most significant historic structures. QRC scanned the building's complex masonry architecture to support preservation planning and provide a comprehensive digital record of existing conditions.

The Challenge

What This Project Demanded

The Old City Jail is a multi-story masonry structure with thick walls, irregular floor levels, and construction details spanning multiple eras of modification. No comprehensive as-built documentation existed, and the building's historic significance required the highest standard of measurement accuracy for preservation work.

Impact

Why It Mattered

The comprehensive scan data provided the first dimensionally accurate digital record of the Old City Jail's complex architecture. This documentation supports ongoing preservation planning and gives stakeholders a verified spatial reference that protects the integrity of future work on this irreplaceable historic structure.
