Old Jackson County Courthouse and Confederate Monument (Sylva, North Carolina)

Originally erected during the Jim Crow era in 1916 to honor Confederate combatants, the monument in front of this courthouse was rededicated in 1996 to honor all veterans of Jackson County.

This stunning former courthouse was erected in 1913 atop a hill that forms the west end of Sylva's Main Street. There are over 100 steps making up the grand stairway that leads to the building's east elevation. It was designed by Smith & Carrier of Asheville, who modeled the building on their 1907 courthouse in Marshall, North Carolina. The structure was expanded and altered over the years, with a clock added to the cupola and its red brick exterior painted white in 1969.

The structure was replaced as the county's seat of justice in 1994, with the construction of the current courthouse just off of Grindstaff Cove Road. It now houses the Jackson County Library.

The structure was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and is a favorite among Carolina courthouse enthusiasts.

Sylva, North Carolina is a lovely Appalachian town located in the far west of the state.
