Morgan County Courthouse was a historic courthouse building located at Berkeley Springs, Morgan County, West Virginia. It was built in 1907 and was a two-story, three-bay, building constructed of yellow brick with limestone accents in the Neoclassical style. It featured a centered, octagonal clock tower that extended above the second story flat roof and dominated the main elevation. Also on the property were an annex (c. 1920) and former jail (1939).[2] The courthouse building was damaged by fire in 2006 and was subsequently demolished.[3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[1]
