The Jefferson County Courthouse is the county's sixth main courthouse and the third in Birmingham. Its cornerstone was laid in 1929 and the building was completed in 1932; the previous courthouse was demolished in 1937. Chicago firm Holabird & Root designed it, and it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

The lobby holds large-scale painted murals by John W. Norton that contrast the "Old South" with the "New South". Outside, sculptor Leo Friedlander's limestone bas-relief panels depict local history and the city's industrial influences, and geometric motifs resembling swastikas appear in the Art Deco ornament.

The courthouse stands on the east side of Linn Park, next to the Birmingham Public Library and facing City Hall across the park; Boutwell Auditorium and the Birmingham Museum of Art are also around this municipal plaza. A limestone-clad International style annex from 1963–64 adjoins the main building. The other active county court facility is the 1919 courthouse in Bessemer.

The limestone bas-relief panels by sculptor Leo Friedlander carry geometric motifs resembling swastikas, a common decorative device in 1920s Art Deco work and unrelated to later politics. Look for them on the facade while comparing the 1932 courthouse with its 1963–64 International style limestone annex.
