船塢街戲院
地方性遺產
船塢街戲院位於南卡羅來納
州查理斯敦的市中心，它也許是該市最多人拍攝的單一景點。另外，它也是美國境內最重要的景點之一。為什麼呢？因為它是美國境內第一座，專為戲劇表演所設計的建築物。
但這座戲院並不是1736年開幕時的那棟建築物。1740年時，原本的建築物毀於一場火災內，1809年，另一棟建築物又在原地址興建完成，以農場主人旅館開幕。後來，當這棟旅館於1930年代重新進行改建時，加建了18世紀風格的舞台及觀眾席，當它於1937年重新開幕時，名稱就改成現在的船塢街戲院了。
現在，這棟建築物就跟它原先設計的功能一樣，仍是一座戲院，而查理斯敦市則保留了該地歷史中，一個不可或缺的部分。
The Dock Street Theater in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, may be the single most photographed spot in the city. It is also one of the most important in America. Why? It was the first building in America designed solely for theatrical performances.
But the theater is not the same one that opened in 1736. In 1740, the building was destroyed by fire. When another building was constructed on the site in 1809, it opened as the Planter's Hotel. When the hotel was remodeled in the 1930s, a stage and auditorium in the style of the 18th century were constructed, and the building reopened in 1937 as the Dock Street Theater.
The building now serves its original purpose, and the city of Charleston has retained an important part of its history.
