Greenbrier County Courthouse and Lewis Spring is a historic courthouse building and spring house located at Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, West Virginia. The courthouse was built in 1837, and is a two-three story, "T"-shaped brick building. The front facade features four large plastered brick columns. Atop the building is a cupola belfry. The Lewis Spring is enclosed in a small, well-preserved stone building. Adjacent is a high stone retaining wall constructed between 1785-1795.[2]
The courthouse building was built from local brick by mason John W. Dunn (who was also an architect, but is not credited with the courthouse's design).[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
