Wake County Courthouse - Raleigh, NC - Courthouses on Waymarking.com

"...in 1968 they began Raleigh’s sixth and current day courthouse. One of Raleigh’s prime examples of Brutalist architecture, the courthouse stands 14 stories, considerably bigger than previous versions. Brutalism is a style that is often referred to as cold and unfriendly, but maybe the whole point of using it for a courthouse is to make it so you’re scared to have to go there."

"This, the newest Wake County Courthouse, was constructed on the same site as several previous courthouses. The modern structure was designed by Alsen Associates."
