The Lee County Courthouse, built in 1908, is a historic courthouse located at 123 S. Main Street[2] in the city of Bishopville in Lee County, South Carolina.[3][4] It was designed in the Classical Revival style by Darlington native William Augustus Edwards who designed eight other South Carolina courthouses as well as academic buildings at 12 institutions in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.[5] Lee County was created in 1902 and this is the only courthouse it has ever had.
On October 30, 1981, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
