Old Hardy County Courthouse, also known as "First" Hardy County Courthouse, is a historic courthouse building located at Moorefield, Hardy County, West Virginia. It was built in two sections, the first built in 1792-93 and the extension added about 1833. It is an L-shaped brick building painted white. The original section measures approximately 25by and the 1833 extension 50by. The original section has Federal style detailing and features a cupola atop the gable roof. The building was remodeled in 1972. It served as the courthouse and clerk's office until the 1860s. It was subsequently occupied by a girls' day and boarding school and offices.[1]
Following a remodel by architect Marjorie Pierce in 1972, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
