Guilford County Courthouse

The Guilford County Courthouse is the county-level judicial facility in Greensboro, serving as a central location for hearings, verdicts, and official record keeping. The building houses multiple courtrooms, offices for judicial staff, and public spaces where visitors can submit matters or follow their cases.

The courthouse was built in the early years of the 20th century, reflecting the architectural movement of that era with classical design elements. It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places because it represents an important example of North Carolina's legal and administrative infrastructure from that period.

The building has shaped the heart of Greensboro for generations as a place where residents handle their legal matters and record important life events like marriages. It stands as a community hub where everyday questions about justice and rights are addressed.

The building is open on weekdays and visitors can enter during normal business hours to conduct business or observe proceedings. The site is equipped with designated handicapped parking and is easily accessible by public transportation.

Beyond its traditional role, the building now houses specialized courts such as the Mental Health Court, which brings together mental illness and legal questions. These innovative approaches show how the justice system has evolved over time to address modern social challenges.
