The restoration of the Warwick
County Courthouse is the current objective of the Newport News-Warwick
Historical Preservation Association (NNWHPA). With the benefit of
a special Historic Preservation Grant, the General Assembly and
Community Development Block Grant funds from the City of Newport News,
exterior restoration
work has been completed. Initial phases of the work have restored the
exterior of the building, upgraded the heating and cooling systems and made the building accessible to all potential users.
Ongoing and future
phases will restore the Courtroom space, Lobby and Grounds. Once
restored, the building will be available for functions of a wide variety
such as receptions, meetings, weddings, exhibits and other functions on
rental basis.
