Statement of Significance (as of designation - November 7, 1973):
Design of this 2-story brick building, more Palladian than Classic, has been attributed to Robert Mills. In continuous use as a courthouse since its completion in 1828, it features fine reeded woodwork and vaulted ceilings.

Condition:
The windows are rotted and the roof leaks. Window repairs in the amount of $110,000 are included in the FY 08-09 budget for Lancaster County. Architect Jody Munnerlyn from Camden, SC is helping with repairs.

Work that should have been done decades ago will hopefully be completed this fiscal year. Grants would help us stretch those dollars and do more to preserve this gem.
