| 説明 | Built in 1924-1928, this Classical Revival-style building was designed by Frank Pierce Milburn to serve as the Buncombe County Courthouse, replacing a previous courthouse that stood immediately in front of the present building, which was built in 1903. The building stands 17 stories and 230 feet (71 meters) tall, and is the eighth courthouse to have served Buncombe County, and was the second courthouse built to the east of Pack Square, which was the original courthouse location. The building is clad in buff brick with a granite base, a recessed doric portico at the main entrance with doric columns, a stone trim surround, a cornice with dentils and modillions, and a large cartouche above the cornice, one-over-one windows, rusticated brickwork at the base of the building and on the side wings on the sixth through eighth floors, which flanks bays with ionic pilasters and small windows, a cornice with modillions and dentils above the base section of the building, with cartouches above the central bays of the side wings, a tower with rusticated brickwork at the corners at the ninth, tenth, and eleventh floors, four-story engaged corinthian columns and stone balustrades at the twelfth floor, roman lattice motif screens at the stone-clad sixteenth floor, below a cornice with modillions, dentils, and acroterions, roman lattice motif screens at the seventeenth floor, ionic columns at the central bays of the side facades on the sixth through eighth floors, and two contemporary rear additions, one of which, built in 2012-2014, houses courtrooms and offices, and the other, built in 1995, housing the Buncombe County Jail. The building originally housed courtrooms and offices in the lower portion, with the Buncombe County Jail in the tower. However, upon the completion of the present jail building in 1995. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Between 2012 and 2014, the building was heavily renovated and rehabilitated, with the addition of a new wing to the rear, and renovation of the interior, including the conversion of the former jail facilities in the tower into offices, and the addition of green trim to the windows and doors, adding more contrast to the building’s facade. The building remains in use as offices and courtrooms for the Buncombe County courts and government offices. |
