If you want to see the Classical Revival style in a local setting, the Washington County Courthouse in Plymouth, North Carolina, is a primary example. Built between 1918 and 1919, this three-story brick structure was designed by the architectural firm of Benton & Benton.
The building features heavy stone trim and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It is located on Adams Street in the heart of the Plymouth Historic District.
The main architectural feature is the front facade, which displays a monumental tetrastyle Ionic order portico. This design defines the courthouse as a significant public building in Washington County.
