Iredell County Courthouse

The Iredell County Courthouse is an 1899 courthouse in Statesville featuring symmetrical design with large windows and detailed stonework on its exterior. Inside, the building displays ornate decorative moldings and carved details throughout its halls and rooms.

Built in 1899 under architect Nicholas Ittner's design, the courthouse represents the Beaux-Arts style of the era. The building gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

The courthouse shaped how the town sees itself as a place where important legal decisions happen. Walking through the halls, visitors notice the formality of the interior that reflects the weight of judicial matters handled here.

The courthouse sits in downtown Statesville at the corner of Center Street and Court Street, making it walkable from nearby areas. Visitors can enter to view the building's architecture, though some spaces may be restricted during active court proceedings.

The building merges its original Beaux-Arts architectural details with modern technical systems that support contemporary court operations. This blend allows the structure to maintain its historical appearance while functioning as an active courthouse today.
