'The Fire-Scarred Mills House and Hibernian Hall, Charleston, S.C. (U.S. Civil War) The Fire-Scarred Mills House and Hibernian Hall are historical structures located in Charleston, South Carolina. These buildings have a unique significance due to their role during the U.S. Civil War. The Mills House, originally built in 1853, was badly damaged by a Union bombardment in 1864, hence the name 'Fire-Scarred.' Hibernian Hall, constructed by the Ancient Order of Hibernians, an Irish-American Catholic fraternal benefit society, served as a hospital for Confederate soldiers during the war. These two landmarks stand today as testaments to Charleston's history and its role in the U.S. Civil War.
