Abstract

The following report provides documentation of the Lincolnville Old Jail, located at 135 W Smith Street in the town of Lincolnville, South Carolina. It was completed by the students of Clemson University’s Graduate Program in Historic Preservation during their Preservation Studio class, led by professors Amalia Leifeste and Frank Ordia, along with Teaching Assistants Hannah Truman and Jessica Ridder, provided additional support in the generation of the final report.

In the months of January and February of 2025, students completed a set of drawings of the old jail to Historical American Building Survey (HABS) standards, supplemented by historical research, and conditions assessments. The project’s focus centered on the old jail itself and its setting in Lincolnville. It is the class’s pleasure to present this report to the town of Lincolnville to serve as a preservation aid for future stewards.
