From 1854 until 1978 this building housed the Brunswick County Courthouse. The building subsequently housed offices for the City of Southport and currently houses the City of Southport Police Department. A previous wooden courthouse occupied this land but was torn down in the 1850s to allow construction of a brick structure that stands hidden below the current stucco exterior.

W. D. Morrell was the architect-builder for the courthouse. The building has undergone numerous repairs and alterations in the past 160 years. In 1922 a one-story porch was added to the facade.
