Old Lehigh County Courthouse
Old Lehigh County Courthouse, County courthouse in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
The Renaissance Revival building at 503 West Hamilton Street features a clock tower, vaulted ceilings, and decorative stonework that characterizes 19th-century architecture.
The original courthouse section, constructed between 1814 and 1819, underwent significant expansions in 1864 and received additional modifications between 1914 and 1916.
The courthouse maintains its position on the Lehigh County seal since 1944, representing the judicial heritage and civic development of the region.
Recent renovations completed in 2023 introduced enhanced security systems, improved lighting, accessibility features, and accommodations for a second Magisterial District Court.
The structure combines three architectural styles - Federal, Italianate, and Beaux-Arts - reflecting different construction periods throughout its existence.
