The Cherokee County Courthouse is located at the corner of Central and Peachtree Streets in Murphy, North Carolina, the county seat of Cherokee County. The Classical Revival building, built in 1926 to a design by James J. Baldwin, was the fifth built on the site. The marble-faced two story building has a five-bay diagonal section facing the roadway that forms its entrance. It has a four-columned Corinthian Greek portico, and is topped by a monumental cupola which rises well above the structure. The building interior, especially its courtroom, has retained much of its original woodwork and stone styling.[2]
The courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
