The courthouse was finished in 1771 at the very center of the city on Market Square. Note the Absence of columns.

 

In 1911 fire gutted the building but left the walls standing. It took only 4 months to repair the damage and columns were fitted under the portico.

 

In 1928 Colonial Williamsburg secured rights to the building, but local government used the property until 1932, when it closed for restoration. In order to have it closer to the original design, the columns were removed.

Step into the setting of "To Kill a Mockingbird"

 

Restored to its 1930s appearance, our courtroom is the model for Harper Lee’s fictional courtroom settings in "To Kill a Mockingbird". It’s now one of the most recognized courtrooms in America because of the popular film version of the book. Although the movie was not filmed here, the set designer came to Monroeville to measure, photograph and draw the courtroom before recreating it on a Hollywood sound stage. Today, fans of the classic novel come to the courthouse from all over the world because it is the most tangible connection to the book’s fictional Maycomb. Visitors are free to move throughout the courtroom, including the balcony, witness chair, judge’s bench and tables used by the prosecutor and defense attorney. Throughout her childhood, Harper Lee often sat in the balcony as she watched her father practice law in this very room.
