Halifax County Courthouse is a historic county courthouse located at Halifax, Halifax County, North Carolina. It was designed by architects Wheeler & Stern and built in 1909–1910. It is a three-story, tan brick, Classical Revival style building. It has a tetrastyle Corinthian order portico flanked by two-story flat roofed wings and a two-stage cupola atop a shallow mansard roof.[2]
The first Halifax county courthouse was built in 1759.[3] In 1847, the first courthouse was replaced by a second, which itself was replaced in 1910 by a third courthouse erected on the site of the second courthouse.[3] The 1910 courthouse was the present courthouse in 1938,[3] the same year the famed 1938 photo of the drinking fountain on the county courthouse lawn was taken. A stone marker currently stands on the courthouse lawn where the photographed drinking fountain resided.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
