U. S. Post Office and Courthouse
U. S. Post Office and Courthouse, Federal courthouse at Four Corners of Law in Charleston, United States.
The granite structure features a square corner tower, rusticated quoins, and balustraded balconies crafted in Renaissance Revival and Mediterranean Revival architectural styles.
Built in 1896 by architect John Henry Devereux, the building replaced a former guardhouse that was damaged during the 1886 Charleston earthquake.
The intersection where the courthouse stands represents different legal systems, with buildings dedicated to ecclesiastical, municipal, state, and federal jurisdictions.
The first floor houses postal services with mahogany woodwork and marble staircases, while the second floor contains a Victorian-style federal courtroom.
The building materials include grey granite from Winnsboro, South Carolina, and red Brazilian marble for interior finishes and decorative elements.
