Armstrong County Courthouse

 courthouse, historical building

The Courthouse (1860). The first courthouse was built of brick in 1809. The original part of the present courthouse was built in 1860, with additions in 1871, and the jail on the left added in 1873. The photo can be compared to this old county atlas view made shortly after building the jail. Later unobtrusive additions were made at the rear in the 20th century along with interior modernization, and to the right is a separate modern annex connected by a enclosed sidewalk.

This Neoclassic structure is entered through the three arches under the portico. The courthouse sits conspicuously at the end of the main street in Kittanning dug into the base of a hill and faces the bridge over the Allegheny River as shown on the map.
