Beaver County Courthouse

 courthouse, local government

The Courthouse (2003).The present courthouse is one of the newest in the state, dedicated in 2003. It sits on the site of an 1875 building rebuilt in the 1930s after a fire. That old courthouse was demolished and only two art deco reliefs were saved, now displayed in two small interior courtyards. Entrance is at the south front or in the rear annex next to the parking lot.

This is a modern two story design in buff stone with projected wings connected by a central section and a glass-enclosed atrium at the front first floor. A curved pavilion connects the two wings in the front as a decorative touch, and a glass-enclosed tower with a clock is above the entrance. Unlike some other modern courthouses, the architects of this one have given it some character. The overall style seems vaguely Art Moderne with the tower adding classical courthouse continuity.
