Marker ID: Local Title: Warwick Courthouse Location: 1401 Old Courthouse Way, Newport News VA 23608 Description: "By tradition, early Warwick County court sessions were held under a large elm tree at nearby Richneck Plantation, home of Col. Miles Cary, Jr. In 1810 Warwick's first brick courthouse was built on this Denbigh site. It also served as clerk's office and jail. In 1864 a large courthouse was erected on the same tract, the clerk retaining the old building. Both served Warwick County (later City) until merger with the city of Newport News, July 1, 1958."
