Greenville County Courthouse, also known as Greenville Family Courts Building, is a historic courthouse located at Greenville, South Carolina. It was built in 1918, and is a Beaux-Arts style brick and concrete building with terra cotta trim. The building consists of a three-story front section, with an eight-story tower behind. The building served as the courthouse for Greenville County until 1950 when the court was moved to a new building. The Family Court of Greenville County was located then in the building and remained there until 1991.[2][3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]

Today, the courthouse serves as the site for M. Judson Booksellers, a locally owned independent bookstore. [4] M. Judson Booksellers was named after Mary Camilla Judson, a long-time educator at the Greenville Women's College, what is today Furman University. [4]
