The Westmoreland County Courthouse is a government building of Westmoreland County located in the county seat, Greensburg, Pennsylvania. It is a contributing property to the Downtown Greensburg Historic District, but was listed separately on the National Register of Historic Places on March 30, 1978.

History

The current building, the county's fourth courthouse, was constructed in 1906. The first courthouse was in use from 1787 to 1801. The second courthouse was demolished in 1854, and the third in 1901. The fourth courthouse was designed in a Beaux Arts style by William S. Kaufman.
