In downtown Orlando, the Orange County Regional History Center occupies the historic 1927 Orange County Courthouse, linking the city’s civic architecture with roughly 2,000 years of Central Florida history. The neoclassical courthouse, designed by Murry S. King and completed by his son James B. King after Murry’s death, replaced an 1892 red-brick courthouse on the site and served as the county’s main courthouse for decades, with even a jail on its top floor. After the county moved to a new courthouse in 1995, the building was transformed into a larger regional museum, which opened in 2000 and now includes exhibitions, collections, archives, and educational programs.
