Located in the county seat of Bishopville, the Lee County Courthouse was completed in 1908, just six years after the county’s formation. It was designed in the Classical Revival style by Darlington native William A. Edwards. At the time it was considered one of the finest, most modern courthouses in the state.
Edwards designed eight other South Carolina courthouses including the Abbeville County Courthouse, the Jasper County Courthouse, and the Dillon County Courthouse. He also designed academic buildings at several notable South Carolina colleges and universities.
