1833–1834, William B. Phillips, mason, and Malcolm F. Crawford, carpenter. 116 S. Court St.

This final courthouse built by Phillips and Crawford, who had worked for Thomas Jefferson at the University of Virginia and had collaborated on the courthouses for
Madison
and (probably) Caroline counties, is closely modeled on their previous work that was inspired by Jefferson's university. The central section of the three-part white-painted brick courthouse features a four-bay arcade at ground level and a Tuscan pediment with a large lunette window. The flanking wings are unusual with their arcaded fronts of three bays, and the resulting facade evokes the arcaded buildings at the University of Virginia. The courthouse's crowning touch is Crawford's square cupola, which features paired pilasters supporting pedimented gables on each of the four sides.
