Greene County Courthouse

 courthouse, historical building

The Courthouse (1850). The first courthouse, built of logs after the county was formed in 1796, was removed from the present site and reassembled on Greene Street where it accomodated numerous uses over the years. It was restored in 2002 with a modern visitor's entrance in the back, and is the only surviving original frontier log courthouse in Pennsylvania.

The present Classical Revival courthouse on High Street (this site) occupies the entire block. The front is the original stucture built in 1850 of brick. Additions were added around 1880 at the back resulting in a "T" shaped structure. These additions were partially demolished and replaced in 1988 with more modern and useful buildings. Restoration work was also done to the front original courthouse, and the inside modernized. The tower over the portico has a recent statue of Nathaniel Greene (Revolutionary War) on top replacing an older deteriorated one.
