Base of John C. Calhoun Statue Turned into Rubble

The spot that once held the monument of John C. Calhoun high in the sky is now nothing more than a bunch of rubble and dirt.

Since Monday, crews have been working at Marion Square to demolish what was left of the monument.

Now, it’s just a bunch of piles of rock and concrete.

City officials said they expect the process to take between seven to 10 days to take down the monument {snip}

Back in June, Charleston City Council voted to remove the monument dedicated to John C. Calhoun {snip}
