Additional Description: In the center of the public square stands the fourth of five courthouses built for Newberry County. Designed by Jacob Graves, it was constructed ca. 1850 of stuccoed brick in the Greek revival style. Six fluted Tuscan columns support a massive pediment that contains a Reconstruction-era bas relief. There is an intricate Doric entablature and a central stairway with iron railings. The building is surrounded by a landscaped square with carriage-type street lights.
