A view across Broad Street towards Meeting Street. The intersection there is also called the Four Corners of Law. Why? The buildings on each corner of that intersection represent a different level of law — Federal (US Post Office and Federal Courthouse), State (Charleston County Courthouse — in which state law is enforced), City (Charleston City Hall) and ecclesiastical law (St. Michael’s Church). Some bonus trivia…did you know this phrase was first coined by the founder of Ripley’s Believe it or Not?
