This massive and ornate 19-story Art Deco granite Berks County Courthouse, built in 1932 to last a century, at a cost of $2,000,000 during the Depression, stands 308 feet tall, making it the tallest courthouse in the United States, and also the most expensive building in Berks County. It is also the second-tallest municipal building in the state of Pennsylvania. Only Philadelphia’s City Hall is taller.
