Nice looking courthouse

Sigarms · May 6, 2020

Seems every week I've been spending in SC for work.

What was funny was I was heading back to a different office, so GPS took me a slightly different route.

First time in this town, (I was following the GPS blindly and scratching my head) came to a stoplight, and there it was right in front of me...

All the courthouses in the South look that way.

Well, was going to post a picture, but that option seems to have disappeared.

Nice looking setting, but the steeple (cupola?) is WAY out of proportion for the building size.

I thought it was just me earlier this morning...

With all due respect, you can't make a blanket statement like that IMO.I've always considered NC as being in the "the south" (AKA below the Mason Dixon line), and luckily the only time I generally have to be at a courthouse is for work or for volunteer work. I say that because personally, I think my own counties couthouse is pretty plain and simple, bordering on the line of ugly (plain square with some kind of aluminum/steel siding). Know a couple of other counties in NC where the courthouse really doesn't stand out architecturally as well.That said, the one other courthouse I did take a picture of because I thought it was nice looking was the Bulloch County Courthouse in Georgia.

I would agree.Just that after about 6 trips taking the same way home, as noted, after following the GPS blindly because I was going back to the office, I had NO clue where I was going, just seeing that I'd end up in the city where I wanted to go. The building stuck out at me just sitting at the stop light having no where to go and wait (seemed like a long light LOL).

the Courthouses in My State have imported Italian marble inside, what a waste of money!!..

Here's a link to the picture I was trying to post; this is a Texas Court House, where, incidentally, we got our marriage license many moons ago. It doesn't look much like the other court house. Texas is Southern, right?
