Old Court House
Designed by Jacob Graves and built
by John Damron, Newberry County's
fourth court house was erected in
1852. It replaced an earlier building
on this site which was probably designed
by Robert Mills. The Old Court House
is now used as a community hall.
The bas-relief, added by Osborne Wells,
is said to depict the Prostrate State
held by the Federal eagle, the
gamecock defiantly representing
the Spirit of South Carolina.
Marker is on Caldwell St. near Main Street, on the right.
