This building served as the Horry County Courthouse when it was constructed in 1824-1825 on plans from Robert Mills, South Carolina native and America’s first native-born professional architect. Mills gave the building, replacing an earleir courthouse on Fifth Avenue, 30-inch thick fireproof brick walls with vaulted record rooms of massive arched masonry. In 1908 the current courthouse was constructed and the historic building was acquired by the City of Conway for use as its City Hall.
