This view of the Charleston courthouse survives as a reproduction of a photoprint from a souvenir album, page 100, so the original mount and its caption are no longer available to check. The catalog card gives no date, but albums like this were popular with visitors to Charleston, South Carolina, in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when such books sold local street scenes and public buildings. Courthouses were central civic landmarks in Southern cities, so this picture offers a view of how the city presented its government buildings to outsiders.
