This list of county courthouses in Illinois provides information about each current Illinois county courthouse: name, photograph, city, construction year, and further comments.
Each of the
102 county governments in the
U.S. state of
Illinois operates out of a building or complex of buildings known as the county's
courthouse . The community in which the courthouse is located is known as the
county seat . The oldest current courthouse is the
Putnam County Courthouse , built in 1839, while other courthouses have been built since 2010. Many courthouses were built following the destruction of previous buildings, either planned or unplanned; however, some former courthouses still stand, many of which have been repurposed as museums or as offices for other governmental agencies.
Fifty-seven of these courthouses were constructed between the end of the
Civil War and American entry into the
First World War ; extant courthouses from this period tend to reflect the
Romanesque Revival ,
Second Empire , and
Neoclassical architectural styles, while several older courthouses are
Greek Revival buildings, and many twentieth-century courthouses are
modernist structures.
List
Thirty-eight courthouses in the state either are listed on the
National Register of Historic Places or are located within Register-listed
historic districts ;
[1] these are marked with a †dagger or ‡double dagger respectively, or with both if applicable.
