The Marion County Courthouse in Fairmont, West Virginia, is a Beaux-Arts structure built between 1897 and 1900 by the Columbus, Ohio architectural firm Yost & Packard. Sited at the intersection of Adams and Jefferson Streets in downtown Fairmont, the building is crowned by a dome topped with a figure bearing the scales of justice. The courthouse and its adjacent American Foursquare-style sheriff's residence were jointly listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, recognized for their architectural, artistic, and governmental significance.
