Old Orange County Courthouse

Page & Turnbull served produced plans and specifications as part of the bid documents to repair, restore, and maintain the sandstone and granite masonry and the wood-framed windows of the Old Orange County Courthouse. The project was completed in two phases: the south façade from 2015-2017 and the east, west, and north facades from 2018-2020. The construction budget was $2M.

Facade assessment included an initial visual assessment from grade and use of a lift for up-close investigation. We also performed materials testing and trial mock-ups as part of the development of the bid documents and repair specifications.

A Richardsonian Romanesque building, the Old Orange County Courthouse (1901) occupies a full city block facing south onto landscaped grounds. The building is symmetrical, two and one half-stories, and clad in red sandstone walls resting on a rusticated granite basement. The hipped and gabled roof, made of metal, resembles tile.

The Courthouse was listed individually in the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
