Anderson County Court House -- 1898
This is Anderson County's second court house. It stands on the site of the first small brick court house where the first court session in Anderson was held on the third Monday in October, 1820. The present building of pronounced Victorian architecture was dedicated June 27, 1898, with elaborate explosives opened with a procession from the Hotel Chiquola (Plaza Hotel Building). The Court House addition was erected in 1939. The clock face and bell in the tower are the same ones used in the first court house. The bell, dated 1856, was presented by the city of Anderson and was rung for the first time by Judge J.P. Reed, leading pioneer Andersonian.
