This fine Italianate courthouse was constructed in 1890, replacing an older courthouse for which I could find no information online. The two-story red-brick building faces north. The north front has a small porch at the entrance with four white colored columns and above are two stories with vertical windows on the former tower. On either side are projecting sections rising to gable roofs. The main building has a hipped roof. On the south side, the basement level is exposed with an entrance. In the interior are wood floors and a staircase with wood railings. The building was renovated in 1976 to 1977, and at some point the central tower was removed.
I could not find an exact date for this photo, but it looks like the 1920s or 1930s. The tower is still in place, and the Ten Commandments monument (added in the 1940s) is not yet present. You can also see that the chimney was more functional back then.
Year photo was taken: 1930
