First Central Station in South Carolina
The United States Electric Illuminating Company of Charleston started up South Carolina's first central station for incandescent electric lighting in this building October 1882 . This was just one month after Thomas Edison opened his central station on New York City's Pearl Street. In the following years, the pioneering firm United States Electric was one of Edison's main competitors.
