The courthouse's 1925–1926 construction by architect Harry Barton placed the county's courts in a Classical Revival building sheathed in ashlar veneer. Its 1979 listing on the National Register of Historic Places recognised that architecture, and the building remains the seat where Cumberland County court sessions are held in Fayetteville.
The courthouse stands at Fayetteville's downtown core, a three-story block with courtrooms and offices stacked inside. It is a working courthouse, so expect security screening at entry and courtroom conduct rules; check which floor your business is on before climbing the stairs.
The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, thirteen years before the nearby Market House received the same listing. Its ashlar veneer is a thin facing of cut stone, not solid blocks, a detail visible where corners meet.
