The courthouse that stood during the Civil War occupation was replaced in 1898; however, the columns, pediment, and cupola from the earlier courthouse remain. General Early [Union] made the courthouse his headquarters during the occupation, and it was in the courtroom that Early made a list of demands upon the citizens of York. So while only the outside of the courthouse remains, it is still this site that the occupying force made their demand on the townspeople.
