Allegheny County Courthouse
Allegheny County Courthouse, County courthouse in downtown Pittsburgh, United States.
The building features five floors of granite blocks, a central courtyard, and a clock tower rising above Grant Street in downtown Pittsburgh.
Built in 1888 by architect Henry Hobson Richardson, this structure replaced the previous courthouse that burned down in 1882 after serving for 41 years.
Vincent Nesbert created five murals on the first floor in 1937, depicting themes of Industry, Justice, Peace, Fort Duquesne, and The Battle of Grant's Hill.
Located at 436 Grant Street, the courthouse contains Civil Court, Criminal Court, Family Court, Orphans Court, and Pittsburgh Municipal Court divisions.
The interior courtyard design allows natural light and fresh air to flow through most areas of the building, setting new standards for civic architecture.
