Why go
The courthouse places an important architect's early work in Charleston's civic setting. Hoban later designed the White House, and this building stands where the colonial statehouse burned in 1788. Its classical front can be read alongside St. Michael's Church and the other institutions at Broad and Meeting Streets.
