History and architectural features
Built between 1842 and 1843, this historic structure is a two-and-one-half-story, brick building that was designed in the Greek Revival style, and is three-bays wide. The original building measured forty-eight feet by eighty-two feet. It was enlarged by forty-eight feet to the rear in 1878. It features a pedimented entryway with two engaged pilasters and prominent cupola.
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
The courthouse has been updated and restored, with the second floor courtroom restored to a late nineteenth-century appearance. An elevator was installed during the 1979 restoration, for accessibility to the courtroom. The building features large art works of local significance, and hosts the offices of the Mifflin County Historical Society, the Juniata River Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Juniata River Valley Visitors Bureau.
