Historic Horry County

Conway City Hall

Conway City Hall (c.1825) with its graceful arches and Doric columns was designed by Robert Mills, the renowned architect of the Washington Monument and the U.S. Treasury building in Washington, D.C. Originally built as the first Horry County Courthouse, it was sold to the City of Conway in 1908 for the sum of $4,000. This durable building, with 30-inch thick walls, has served local government for over 150 years. The upstairs courthouse underwent a major restoration in the 1990s, and is open to the public during business hours.

A small park adjacent to City Hall is home to "The Horse Trough," a fountain purchased from the City of Charleston in 1916. It is the centerpiece of a small garden planted with shrubs and seasonal flowers. Both City Hall and the park are located on the corner of Main Street and Third Avenue in historic downtown Conway.
