Abstract:
The Pitt County Courthouse, located on Third Street between Evans and Washington streets, was completed in 1911. The Board of County Commissioners collected historical artifacts to be placed in the cornerstone. On the morning of Jan. 26, 1911, with no ceremony, a few people gathered to watch the laying of the cornerstone in the northeast corner of the building. The cornerstone, made of Georgia Creole marble, weighed 1300 pounds and had a hallow underneath to hold the sealed copper box containing the historical artifacts.
