Originally built in 1924, the Morgan County Courthouse, located diagonally across the main intersection from the Berkley Springs State Park, was destroyed by fire in August 2006. Based on a clear mandate from the surrounding community, Silling Architects was asked to develop a new design that was reminiscent of the old historic courthouse which would add to the architectural character and the tourism spirit of Berkeley Springs.
​

 

The construction materials include a stone base to tie the building to the context and yellow brick respectful both to the old courthouse and neighboring buildings. The new courthouse includes a mix of county administrative offices on the first floor and county judicial functions including Circuit Court, Family Court and Magistrate Court on the second and third floors.

Their work has always been exemplary!
