The King Street Palace was an auditorium located at 1000 King Street in Downtown Charleston. During the 1990s, the Palace hosted multiple musical concerts (for example, Widespread Panic and Alanis Morrisette played there in the mid 90s.). According to wrestling historian Mike Mooneyham, the Palace was also a popular site to host early pre-NWA/WCW pro-wrestling matches. Following Hurricane Hugo, Oprah Winfrey broadcast her show from The King Street Palace, highlighting the devastated families in the area.

Prior to its reinvention as The Palace, it was known as County Hall, and was a venue for a wide variety of events.

A Charleston Regional Business Journal report indicates that the Palace was to be turned into 75 housing units in 2001.
