SC-40-124 Confederate Printing Plant

Marker text: CONFEDERATE PRINTING PLANT

From April 1864 to February 1865 Confederate bonds and currency were printed and processed in this building, constructed in 1863-64 for the printing and stationery firm of Evans & Cogswell. That firm, founded in Charleston, produced bonds and currency for the Confederacy throughout the war and moved to Columbia in 1863. The Confederate Treasury Note Bureau moved its headquarters here as well in the spring of 1864.

Erected by the Mary Boykin Chesnut Chapter No. 2517, United Daughters of the Confederacy, 2002, replacing a marker erected by the City of Columbia in 1966.
