Supreme Court Library Building, now known as Greenbrier County Library and Museum, is a historic library building located at Lewisburg, Greenbrier County, West Virginia. It was built in 1834, and is a two story building built of locally fired brick. It was constructed to serve as a law library and study for the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. This was leased to the State of Virginia until the court sessions ended in 1864. During the American Civil War it served as a military hospital. It was then occupied as a Masonic lodge until acquired by the Greenbrier College for Women. In 1935, the college deeded it to the town for use by the Greenbrier County Library and Museum.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
