Halifax County Courthouse in Halifax, North Carolina is a building from 1910. The first Halifax county courthouse was built in 1759.[2] 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.[2] The 1910 courthouse was the present courthouse in 1938,[2] the same year the famed 1938 photo of the drinking fountain on the county courthouse lawn was taken. A stone marker presently stands on the courthouse lawn where the photographed drinking fountain resided. The 1910 courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
