The Morehouse Parish Courthouse in Bastrop, Louisiana, is a Beaux-Arts structure completed in 1914, distinguished by its three-story monumental form set atop a half-story basement with beige brick veneer walls and a commanding four-stage dome. The building was modestly expanded with side wings in 1935 and underwent a more substantial enlargement in 1966 that doubled its size, though the original central block remains visually dominant. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002, the courthouse underwent a complete copper dome replacement in 2023–2024, performed by The Durable Restoration Company.
