Summary
| Description | South elevation, Charleston County Courthouse, 82-86 Broad Street, Charleston South Carolina (1790-92), James Hoban, architect. The South Carolina Statehouse (1753), on this site, burned in 1788. With the transfer of the state capital from Charleston to Columbia in 1790, Hoban incorporated the ruins into his Neo-classical courthouse, adding a third story. President Washington saw this building on his visit to Charleston in May 1791. In July 1792, Hoban won the design competition for The White House. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
