Jackson County Courthouse, County courthouse in Sylva, North Carolina, United States.

The Jackson County Courthouse stands prominently on a hill at the end of Main Street, with 107 steps leading to its Classical Revival entrance.

Built in 1913 by Smith & Carrier architects for $30,000, the courthouse marked Sylva's designation as the new county seat, replacing Webster.

The courthouse building includes spaces for the Jackson County Genealogical Society, Arts Council, and Historical Society, supporting local heritage institutions.

The structure connects to a 20,000-square-foot library through a glass-roofed atrium, offering public services and research facilities to visitors.

The courthouse features a three-stage cupola with a clock tower that has required multiple removals and renovations throughout its history.
