1858
Northampton County, formed in 1741, was served by other courthouses on this site prior to construction of this building in 1858. At the time Samuel Calvert oversaw the project; Henry King Burgwyn has been credited as architect. Resting atop a high base, this building is one of the few surviving examples in North Carolina of the full-blown Greek Revival temple form. This noble brick structure with Ionic portico and columns has become a symbol of Northampton County.| HM Number | HM19ZC |
