NRHP Nomination Form

"Dominated by the Second Empire style courthouse built in 1893, the square is lined with one and two-story native limestone buildings, built mainly in the late nineteenth century. A few commercial structures completed the rows of buildings in the early twentieth century, but they all conform to the architectural unity of the town square."
