Genesee County Courthouse
Genesee County Courthouse, Greek Revival courthouse in Batavia, United States.
The three-story limestone courthouse features a prominent two-tiered cupola, Doric pilasters, and 12-over-12 double-hung sash windows throughout its exterior.
Built in 1841 to replace a timber frame structure, this courthouse served the entire Holland Purchase region before the territory divided into separate counties.
The courthouse maintains its position at a historical intersection that Native Americans previously recognized as the Great Hearing Place in Western New York.
The building houses offices for the county manager, attorney, legislature chambers, and continues to function for specific court proceedings in Genesee County.
The courthouse bell originated from a local resident's practical joke, as David McCracken initially rang it through the village before selling it to Joseph Ellicott.
