"Courthouse"This imposing, Italianate brick building is the centerpiece of Bel Air, Maryland, and home of the first Harford County court. Featuring a formally appointed second-floor courtroom, it was built in 1858 to replace the original 1791 Georgian style courthouse, destroyed by fire. Two-story wings, added for offices in the 1830s, survived the fire. Expanded in 1904, it continues as the anchor of local government.
