Long Description:The Cleveland County Courthouse is a three-story, limestone
building. Built and designed in the Art Deco style, the building
retains a lot of its historic design while being surrounded with
modern features. Several historic markers and memorials have been
built on the grounds of the courthouse. Fencing and a modern cement
jail have been added. While largely a plain building, there are
engraved bands around the top of the building, making this
limestone building come to life with that extraordinary touch that
we do not see in modern buildings today.
Public Works Administration supervised and funded this project,
as verified by both the corner stone and the National Register of
Historic Places nomination form.
