Greenville, South Carolina

The Greenville County Courthouse, the fourth building employed in this capacity, is significant as an example of early twentieth century public architecture on a monumental scale in the piedmont South, for the high quality of its design and construction, and for its association with prominent Georgia architect Phillip Thornton Marye. The courthouse is the only existing public Beaux Arts style building in Greenville County. Behind it rises an eight-story tower. The building served as the courthouse for Greenville County until 1950.
