Charleston - Four Corners of Law

Beyond this is the intersection with Broad Street, known as the Four Corners of Law. On the north-east corner is Old City Hall (1801), originally built as a bank; it now houses a collection of pictures, including John Trumbull's fine portrait of Washington. At the north-west corner is the County Court House (1752), originally State House.

At the south-west corner is the Federal Court, built in 1886 on the site of the old Town Guardhouse; and at the south-east corner is St Michael's Church (1752-61; Protestant), which has the town's finest church tower.
