They got the job done through and ensured everyone was safe going into the building. I was very disappointed that the drink machine was out of order when they had advertised online that you could purchase refreshments in the waiting area. Towards the end of the day, I did find out that you can leave the waiting area to purchase drinks and snacks from vending machines on another floor. They really should have posted a sign indicating this information on their broken vending machines. Although I did not get picked to be on a jury, I enjoyed sitting in a comfortable chair and reading my book for 8 hours. Hopefully I don't have to go back soon.

This building served as the primary court for the county and was the setting for the infamous Willie Earle trial, which gained international attention when 31 white men were acquitted for the murder of a black taxi driver. There is some limited street parking in front and a larger lot in the back. [Review 204 of 2025 - 1259 in South Carolina - 23768 overall]

The current courthouse was built between 1949 and 1950 and was renovated in 1997 with the addition of a new judicial wing. The previous courthouse was completed in 1918.

In 2021 the Family Court was moved to a facilty on Halton Road.

Buncombe County was formed in 1791 and named for Edward Buncombe, a Revolutionary War officer…read more Nestled in the mountains of western North Carolina, the county quickly became a cultural and political center, with Asheville as its seat and growing rapidly in the 1800s thanks to railroads, tourism, and the region's reputation for restorative mountain air. The Buncombe County Courthouse, completed in 1928, stands as a towering example of Beaux-Arts architecture with subtle Art Deco touches. Designed by Douglas Ellington (who is also responsible for the neighboring Asheville City Hall), the courthouse rises seventeen stories, making it the tallest county courthouse in North Carolina. Its limestone façade, classical ornamentation, and richly appointed interior ‐ with marble floors, coffered ceilings, and bronze fixtures ‐ reflect the civic optimism of Asheville's boom years, just before the Great Depression slowed further development. Beside the courthouse stands a three-tiered empty plinth. From 1905 until its removal in 2021, it held a monument to Confederate soldiers, taken down following a vote by county commissioners. The vacant pedestal now serves as a quiet marker of the region's evolving public memory. Asheville is a city of smart parking meters and parking decks. You won't find free parking here.

The building houses the County Superior Court and County District Court of the 27th Judicial District. There is a massive parking lot with the nearest parking reserved for various county officials and law enforcement. I was able to find a spot not too far away considering the building was secured for the day. Easy to walk the grounds and see the power of this massive structure. When Gaston County was formed, the county seat was in Dallas and the first courthouse was built there in 1848. It burned in 1874 and was replaced with the second courthouse in 1876, which is still standing and today functions as the Dallas City Hall. The county seat was moved to Gastonia in 1911 and a third county courthouse was built. It's still standing at the corner of North Gaston and West Trade.

It features Renaissance Revival architecture with a smooth stone veneer and a two-story portico. The classical detailing truly projects the quiet power of the law. It was completed in 1926. The Rutherford County Courthouse houses the County Superior and District Courts of the 29th Judicial District. There is a small annex building to the north. On a weeknight, there was easy parking. I'm not sure where you're headed when court is in session during the week as this is not a big city. [Review 652 of 2025 - 4139 in North Carolina - 24213 overall]

This is an older courthouse that is getting fairly outdated and crowded for the usual docket lineup on any given day of the week. As is usual now, the front door greets you with an immediate metal detector set up combined with an conveyor belt for scanning pocketbooks and other bags. A deputy will pat you down in the event you set alarms off. After that, it's pretty simple. To your right are the various clerk's offices separated by division: criminal, civil, and special proceedings. To your left is a single long hallway that takes you to the various courtrooms. Signage is deplorable, and you'd be wise to check the printed paper dockets outside each courtroom to make sure you are in the right place. Courtroom assignments can change, so don't ever assume you know where you'll be. If in doubt, it's always wise to go check back at the clerk's office. Being a smaller county, these staff here can usually take the time to look up your case and tell you where you need to be and when you need to be there. The courtrooms themselves are pretty small and cramped here, so expect to be shoulder to shoulder with your fellow citizens, joining for a day of justice in action. The good news is that being so small, it's pretty easy to hear what's happening up at the bench with the judge and clerks. Parking is always an interesting endeavor here. There is a small lot to the right of the courthouse and on just across the street that provides ample free parking. These small lots tend to fill up fast, and then you're left with street options and various amount of time you can stay parked for free. Don't park in the businesses just across the street, though, as they are well known for towing non-customers.

Democrats favored Andrew Jackson, Whigs leaned toward Henry Clay, and so they settled on 'Union' to reflect cooperation. Two years later, Monroe was incorporated as the county seat and named in honor of President James Monroe. The historic courthouse, completed in 1886, is a fine example of Late Victorian civic architecture. Its symmetrical two-story brick façade features a five-bay central block flanked by two-bay wings, all topped by a low hip roof and a commanding cupola that still defines the skyline of downtown Monroe. In 1922, two three-bay wings were added to the north and south, carefully designed to preserve the building's original balance and style. More than just a handsome structure, the courthouse has stood witness to pivotal chapters in Union County's story from Reconstruction-era governance to civil rights-era legal battles. It remains a proud and enduring symbol of the county's civic life. [Review 1307 of 2025 - 4442 in North Carolina - 24859 overall]
