Erie County Courthouse (Erie, Pennsylvania)

USA / Pennsylvania / Erie / Erie, Pennsylvania / West 6th Street, 140
 courthouse, 1850s construction, historical building
The Courthouse (1855). The double wing design of the present Neoclassic courthouse is unique. The west section (to the left) was opened in 1855 and enlarged around 1890, when the original bell tower was also removed.

The east wing was added in 1929 as a carbon copy of the west with the two connected at the rear, an ingenious idea. Today, there are modern annexes at the back, and around 2001 a new entrance was built in the space between the wings as part of a general courthouse restoration project.
