Pike County Courthouse

 courthouse, historical building

The county seat of Pike County, PA is located in Milford Pennsylvania. The county clerk and supreme court building are bordered on the east by the Pike County Sheriff's office. Both are bordered on the South by Routes 6 & 209.

The Courthouse (1874). There are three buildings in a row along East Broad Street in Milford which have some courthouse function. The present courthouse itself was built in 1874 in an Italianate style with a handsome and very noticable window treatment. Two parallel large arched windows hover over two parallel doors in the projecting entrance bay. This window design is repeated in smaller windows along the upper story with similar windows on the ground floor having a flattened arch. The parallel window design extends to the bell tower. A modern small addition, noticable by newer brick, has been added to the rear apparently for easier disabled access.

Across High Street sits the original Pike County courthouse built in 1815, and thus one of the older extant courthouses in the state. This is a stone building with a small bell tower that is a later addition, and the obvious jail windows on the right. This old courthouse is now the Sheriff's Office. Farther along the street sits the modern Administration Building , completed in 1985, but built in true courthouse style. The projected front has a prominent Palladian window and above is the bell tower.
