Jefferson County Courthouse

The Jefferson County Courthouse is a county courthouse in Birmingham featuring clean lines, geometric shapes, and expansive glass windows characteristic of modernist design. Architects Holabird & Root created a building that reflects the functional aesthetic principles of 20th-century architecture.

The building was constructed in the modernist style during the 20th century and later gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places. This designation honors its importance in Alabama's judicial development and architectural heritage.

The courthouse represents a central gathering point where citizens engage with local government services and participate in civic responsibilities.

The building is accessible on weekdays and serves as the main location for judicial matters in the county. Additional branch locations throughout the area help residents access administrative services from different neighborhoods.

The building houses not only courtrooms but also multiple administrative offices that support the county's daily operations. This mixed-use function makes it an important administrative hub beyond its role as a judicial center.
