The Pulaski County Courthouse is located at 405 West Markham Street in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas, the state capital and the county seat of Pulaski County. It is set among a number of other state and city government buildings, on a city block bounded by West Markham, Spring, West 2nd, and South Broadway Streets, with a county park occupying the western portion of the block. The courthouse has two portions: an elaborate Romanesque edifice built of stone and brick in 1887-89 to a design by Max A. Orlopp, and a large four-story Beaux Arts annex designed by George Mann and added in 1913-14. The annex is acknowledged as one of Mann's most successful commissions.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
