Person County Courthouse

Person County Courthouse is an early 20th-century government building located in downtown Roxboro that continues to serve as an active court facility. Its exterior displays the formal design typical of this era, featuring detailed cornices, structured staircases, and classic stonework.

The building was constructed in the early 1900s as a regional administrative center and was later added to the National Register of Historic Places. This recognition acknowledged its architectural importance in the development of the region.

The courthouse hosts legal proceedings and official matters that shape daily life for local residents. Its location in downtown Roxboro makes it a central reference point where people gather for civic business and community events.

Visitors can enter the building during regular court hours but should expect standard security screening. The location is easily accessible on foot in central Roxboro and works well as part of a walking tour through downtown.

The building preserves original construction details and design elements that were carefully maintained during renovations over recent decades. Many of the handcrafted ornamental features in the staircases are rarely seen in modern courthouse architecture.
