Pitt County Courthouse, County courthouse in Greenville, United States.
Pitt County Courthouse is a three-story rectangular tan brick building completed in 1910 to designs by Milburn, Heister & Company. Its front facade carries a tetrastyle Ionic portico, a hipped roof and a three-stage cupola that rises above the roofline.
The building was designed by architect Frank Pierce Milburn, who incorporated Roman architectural principles into the design. Its construction established a center for legal proceedings in Pitt County.
The courthouse stands inside the Greenville Commercial Historic District, so its block is shared with the city's commercial core rather than set apart. Its 1910 tan brick and three-stage cupola make it a landmark for orientation downtown, and the building still houses Pitt County's courts.
The building is located in downtown Greenville and is accessible on foot from the city center. Visitors should note that it is an active courthouse with security protocols and possible access restrictions.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places while remaining an active working courthouse. This dual role shows how American courts maintain their historical spaces while serving contemporary judicial functions.
