The clock has a simple face, white background with turn-of-the-century hands pointing at Roman Numerals. Nothing fancy, but clear and effective.
"The first, a one-story log building erected in 1825
as a temporary structure, was replaced in 1833 with a two-story brick building. The third
courthouse, constructed in 1876 of bricks with a slate roof, burned on February 10, 1925
and was replaced by the present structure, designed by prominent Memphis architect
George Mahan, Jr." ~ NRHP Nomination Form
