First constructed in 1753 as the provincial capitol for the colony of South Carolina, th Charleston County Courthouse is one of the most important buildings in the state. Standing at its prominent position at the northwest corner of Broad andMeeting Streets, the od planned Civic Square, the Courthouse has withstood many vicissitudes in its nearly two and a half centuries of existence. Wars, fires,neglect, and numberous renovations and additions obscured its detailing until a recent arthitectural study and the advocacy of community organizations have led to a plnned restoration of the building's 182 appearance.
