The place was not only cold but also damp.
Explanation: In this sentence, the use of "only" and "also" is redundant. Instead, "not only...but also" is the correct correlative conjunction to use. Also, the conjunction "and" should be replaced with "but" for proper contrast between the coldness and dampness of the place.
