A debate over the meaning of the word "stable" came before the state Supreme Court last week in a dispute between a carriage-tour owner and the city of Charleston. 

Moncks Corner officials said they have not yet seen the plans for the 800-acre tract, which stretches to the Cooper River. Some speculated the development could include as many as 1,200 homes.

Nearly 200 years later, the South Carolina Historical Society, which now owns the 9,000-square-foot building, decided to convert it to a state history museum. It moved its 2 million-piece archive from the Fireproof Building to the nearby College of Charleston, and then embarked on a $6.8 million rehabilitation, completed in June of 2018.
