Abstract:

The Pitt County Courthouse was built in Greenville in 1910. The courthouse, designed in the neo-Classical Revival style, is the fifth in the county's history. It is one of eleven North Carolina courthouses designed by the Washington, D.C., architectural firm of Milburn and Heister. By 1997, the courthouse was in a state of disrepair, and there was a movement to build a new one on the north side of the Tar River in the county government complex. Bradsher describes the seven-year, $17 million renovation of the courthouse.
