Tazewell County Courthouse
Tazewell County Courthouse, County courthouse in Pekin, United States.
The Tazewell County Courthouse is a Beaux-Arts government building located on Court Street in Pekin that serves as the main hub for county judicial proceedings. Its facade displays Tuscan columns on the upper floors, ornamental molding, and a railing that runs along the roofline.
Architects Deal & Ginzel from Lincoln designed and built this courthouse in 1914 to replace the earlier 1849 building as county government operations grew larger. The structure marked a shift toward a more substantial facility to handle the expanding judicial system.
A copper box made by local craftsmen Jaeckel & Sons sits within the cornerstone, holding items that tell the story of how the community grew and changed over time.
The building sits prominently in the town center on Court Street and is easy to locate, with multiple levels providing access to different administrative and court departments. Visitors should expect to follow security procedures when entering and keep regular business hours in mind.
The 1916 dedication ceremony brought together prominent speakers from across the region to mark the completion of this new courthouse. This formal event underscored the importance the community placed on having a modern judicial facility.
