Carolopolis Plaque, The Preservation Society of Charleston, Charleston, South Carolina, USA
The Carolopolis Award is a plaque placed on buildings that have been preserved, restored, rehabilitated or are outstanding examples of new construction. The award is presented to those individuals, businesses or organizations that currently own the property. The Carolopolis Award is a slightly modified reproduction of the seal of the City of Charleston. The word Carolopolis comes from the original name of the city, which was derived from a combination of the word Carolus (Latin for Charles) and Polis (Greek for City), thus Charles City and later Charleston. The words Condita 1670 refer to the Latin word for founding, and to the date of Charleston’s founding. The other date on the award refers to the year in which the award was given.
