"This courthouse was built in 1952 after the previous one burned in 1949. The exterior is made from handmade brick from Virginia and Indiana Limestone. The most notable features are the tall but thin clock tower and the projecting pedimented entry portico with four columns. The roof slate shingles were from Vermont. Much of the interior (the floors, stairs and wall finishes) is made with Italian Marble." ~ Brent Moore
