Lynchburg Courthouse
Lynchburg Courthouse, Historical courthouse and museum in Lynchburg, Virginia.
The Greek Revival courthouse stands on Court House Hill with a three-bay Doric portico and a shallow dome featuring a small open belfry.
The structure, built in 1855 by architect Andrew Ellison Jr., replaced the original 1813 courthouse and received National Register of Historic Places status in 1972.
The building now functions as the Lynchburg Museum, displaying exhibits about local history, military heritage, and regional art throughout its halls.
Visitors can access the museum through the main entrance facing Monument Terrace, a series of steps with commemorative monuments leading down to Church Street.
The courthouse dome includes a circle of small Ionic columns supporting a hemispherical cap, constructed with stucco-over-brick on a granite ashlar foundation.
