Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania
This is the third courthouse located on this site. The first built sometime after 1843 was destroyed in the 1849 fire. The second was an imposing Greek revival structure demolished to make way for the current sandstone structure, designed by L. S. Jacoby of Allentown. On the building’s centennial in 1983, it was refurbished, leaving original Victorian courtroom preserved.
