Description
From volume II of a 1978 report entitled 100 Courthouses, A Report on North Carolina Judicial Facilities: “In 1938 the Works Progress Administration, with Raymond Fuson serving as architect, built a new building in Bayboro.” The new courthouse was Neoclassical in style. “The plain interiors echo…the realities of the Depression era when money for decorative frills was scarce”.
