 ■‘7 i i •kM'll .• Hospital Health Department | ' 'THE CONVENIENCE OF OUR TOWN 4 Laurens has had three courthouses. The first was a frame building used as a church, courthouse, and schoolhouse. The second was of brick. The present one is a large and imposing structure of cement and granite in the center of the public square. It is of both the Corinthian and Ionic style of architecture, begun in 1835 and completed in 1840. The Post Office, of Ionic architecture, was built in 1913. In 1936 the City Hall was erected. The Laurens County Library was built in 1940 through the funds of the P.W.A. and donations of interested people throughout the county. Laurens is well supplied with health facilities. The Laurens County Hos- pital was built in 1936 and an addition was made in 1945. A modern Health Department was built on Church Street in 1951. The city of Laurens has always stood for a progressive municipal ad- ministration and is governed by a mayor and council members. Liwtt c. Moser - hm.l.s. USOTCMS, S.C.
