Historic Horry County

The Courthouse

Horry County built its second courthouse on the Third Avenue between Elm and Beaty Streets in 1908. Wings were added in the 1950s. L.W. Brown, Clerk of Court from 1909 to 1927, planted many of the oak trees on the grounds. Later, the Garden Club of South Carolina planted more oaks, magnolias, boxwoods and azaleas, making a picturesque setting for the multi-columned brick structure.
