They got the job done through and ensured everyone was safe going into the building. I was very disappointed that the drink machine was out of order when they had advertised online that you could purchase refreshments in the waiting area. 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. Although I did not get picked to be on a jury, I enjoyed sitting in a comfortable chair and reading my book for 8 hours. Hopefully I don't have to go back soon.

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.

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.

Democrats favored Andrew Jackson, Whigs leaned toward Henry Clay, and so they settled on 'Union' to reflect cooperation. Two years later, Monroe was incorporated as the county seat and named in honor of President James Monroe. The historic courthouse, completed in 1886, is a fine example of Late Victorian civic architecture. Its symmetrical two-story brick façade features a five-bay central block flanked by two-bay wings, all topped by a low hip roof and a commanding cupola that still defines the skyline of downtown Monroe. In 1922, two three-bay wings were added to the north and south, carefully designed to preserve the building's original balance and style. More than just a handsome structure, the courthouse has stood witness to pivotal chapters in Union County's story from Reconstruction-era governance to civil rights-era legal battles. It remains a proud and enduring symbol of the county's civic life. [Review 1307 of 2025 - 4442 in North Carolina - 24859 overall]

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.
