Towards the end of the day, I did find out that you can leave the waiting area to purchase drinks and snacks from vending machines on another floor. They really should have posted a sign indicating this information on their broken vending machines.

In downtown Winston-Salem, the current Forsyth County Courthouse doesn't try to charm you with…read moreornate flourishes as much as it asserts itself with the clean, modern lines of a government building built for heavy daily use. The present courthouse, completed between 2020 and 2023 is a six-story brick, concrete and glass structure with a flat roofline and a two story steel and glass porch on its west front. Inside, it holds 17 courtrooms and 3 hearing rooms, all arranged along escalators and public elevators that make the building feel more like a contemporary civic center than a traditional courthouse. What makes this site interesting is how it sits in a long lineage of Forsyth County courthouses. The previous courthouse, completed in 1976 and known as the Forsyth County Hall of Justice is still standing, as is the even earlier 1897 courthouse that was remodeled in 1926/1927 and later converted into apartments. Forsyth County itself was formed in 1849 from part of Stokes County and named for Colonel Benjamin Forsyth, a War of 1812 officer who was mortally wounded in battle. The courthouse sits in the middle of city shaped by a unique civil merger. Winston and Salem began as separate towns, one a Moravian settlement dating to 1766 and the other established in 1849. After an unsuccessful attempt in 1879, the two communities finally voted to consolidate in 1913, creating Winston-Salem and setting the stage for the city's rapid twentieth century growth. The building is easy to visit and photograph though parking in downtown during the week can be a challenge. And note that cell phones are not permitted inside the building, not even in the lobby. On a Saturday morning, it was easy enough to find a spot and walk around the site easily.

It was a slightly drizzly Friday evening in Mocksville and the town had that low-key hum where a…read morefew people were ducking in and out of the shops and restaurants. The sidewalks felt open enough that I could wander around the Davie County Courthouse without anyone getting in my way. The soft light worked in my favor as the building's pale brick and classical detailing stood out cleanly, and I was able to photograph it without a single car or person drifting into the frame. The courthouse is a block from the very center of town and has that solid twentieth-century civic look, the kind of place build to project order and permanence. David County was formed in 1836, carved out of the western portion of Rowan County and it was named for William Richardson Davie, Revolutionary War officer, North Carolina governor and one of the state's most influential early political figures. Mocksville, the county seat from the beginning, takes its name from the Mock family, early settlers who owned land in the area long before the courthouse took shape. This current courthouse dates to 1909, a restrained Classical Revival design with brick walls, stone trim and a symmetrical facade that still reads as dignified more than a century later. Later additions expanded the footprint but the original brick remains the visual anchor. Walking the perimeter in the drizzle, you can see how the building as been adapted over time, but the core still carries that early-1900s courthouse personality. Tall windows, a centered entrance, and just enough ornamentation to remind you that this was meant to be the county's more important public building. it has handled the steady, everyday legal life of Davie County for generations, which in its own way makes it a satisfying stop if you like courthouse architecture and Mocksville makes it easy to linger a bit longer than you planned.

Sunday morning in Concord meant that the historic Cabarrus County Courthouse was completely closed,…read morebut that actually made the visit better because I could walk the grounds without anyone around and really study this 1876 landmark that replaced an earlier courthouse lost to fire. Knowing it was designed by GSH Appleget made me pay more attention to the Victorian mix of Second Empire and Italianate details with the tall clock tower, arched windows, and that distinctive roofline. This is the third courthouse on this spot since Cabarrus County was created in 1792 and named for Stephen Cabarrus, a French‑born North Carolina legislator who served as Speaker of the state House of Commons in the 1790s. Concord has been the county seat from the very beginning and the building still feels like the civic anchor even though it no longer handles court business. Circling the exterior with no traffic or courthouse activity let me really take in the stuccoed brick, the symmetry and the way the morning light hit the tower. It was nice not having to weave around people or explain why I was photographic a government building. The quiet made the history feel more present in that way where you can start imagining the earlier wooden and brick courthouses that once stood here. Today, the building houses the Cabarrus Art Council and local history exhibits instead of judges and lawyers, but on a calm Sunday morning it still feels like the heart of downtown Concord and being able to enjoy it undisturbed made the stop absolutely worth it.

The building houses the County Superior Court and County District Court of the 27th Judicial District. There is a massive parking lot with the nearest parking reserved for various county officials and law enforcement. I was able to find a spot not too far away considering the building was secured for the day. Easy to walk the grounds and see the power of this massive structure. When Gaston County was formed, the county seat was in Dallas and the first courthouse was built there in 1848. It burned in 1874 and was replaced with the second courthouse in 1876, which is still standing and today functions as the Dallas City Hall. The county seat was moved to Gastonia in 1911 and a third county courthouse was built. It's still standing at the corner of North Gaston and West Trade.

Rowan County was formed in 1753 and named for Mtthew Rowan, the acting governor of North Carolina, and Salisbury has served as the county seat from the start. The city's name comes from Salisbury in England, a choice that fit the British roots of the early settlers who laid out the town in the mid 1700s. The current courthouse went up in 1914 and was designed by Frank Pierce Milburn, and at this point I feel like I am on a Milburn tour of the South since I have seen so many of his works from Reidsville's courthouse just yesterday to Wilkes County's courthouse in Washington Georgia and even Wise County Courthouse in Virginia! Milburn's Rowan County Courthouse leans fully into the Classical Revival look with tall columns, a balanced facade, and the kind of stone and proportion that make a civic building feel grounded and permanent. Even with the rain coming down, the details stood out, and the place has that familiar Milburn mix of formality and approachability that shows up across his portfolio. Walking the grounds with the streets quiet and the pavement wet made it easy to appreciate how well the building sits on its corner and how it still carries the weight of a county seat that has been here since colonial days.
