The Carbon County Courthouse, located in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, was built on April 27, 1893.
It was based on the design of the Big Ben Clock tower in London, England.
Many of the features inside the courthouse featured many ornate pieces including: fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, stained glass, ornate English Wainscoting, adamant wall plaster and Mintons Tile that ordained the hallways.
The exterior was based on the Romanesque architecture revival and sandstone from Rockport, in Northern Carbon County.
Donated over to the town itself from the founders of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, it was revamped into a courthouse in 1843.
