==History==
The courthouse was constructed by John Marshall in 1731 at the cost of 50,000 pounds of tobacco. Built in the Flemish bond style, the brick building measured approximately 35 feet by 23 feet. The Clerk's Office was built adjacent to the courthouse. It features diagonally-battened door fastens and an unusual assortment of variously sized paving stones.〔
The building remained in use through 1795, when another courthouse was constructed nearby. It was then turned into a family house for a rent of $1 per year, on the condition that the new lessee would fund a new roof for the building.〔
