Lycoming County Courthouse (Williamsport, Pennsylvania)

 courthouse  Add category

The Courthouse (1970). The old courthouse was built in 1860 and replaced a hundred years later by this smooth brown brick one in a Modern style. This is a square building and looks the same on all four sides, although the entrance faces West Third Street. The ground floor is all glass and recessed to form a covered walkway all around. The rest is covered with a smooth glassy brick and a black window treatment that varies at the top to break the monotony.

The corners are filled by right angled windows, a nice touch. The building sits back from the sidewalk and is landscaped around including, surprisingly, large trees. There is a newer county office building directly behind, also in modern office building style, but not as handsome as this courthouse.
