Tazewell County Courthouse (Illinois)

The Tazewell County Courthouse, located on Court Street in Pekin, is the county courthouse serving Tazewell County, Illinois. The courthouse was built in 1914 to provide a larger space for county government, which had outgrown the previous courthouse and had begun to spread across multiple buildings. Lincoln, Illinois architects Deal & Ginzel designed the courthouse; the pair was also responsible for two other county courthouse designs in Illinois, in Moultrie County and Logan County. The firm designed the courthouse in the Beaux-Arts style; their design features an arched entrance and windows on the first floor, pavilions with Tuscan columns on the upper two stories, and an entablature and balustrade along the roof.[2]
