The Sevier County Courthouse is located in the county seat of Seveirville, TN. The courthouse, designed by Kenneth McDonald, was completed on November 10, 1895 at cost of just over $22,000. The limestone came from a nearby quarry and Isaac Dockery, a notable African American brick mason in Sevierville, manufactured the bricks. The centerpiece of the courthouse is the Seth Thomas clock which is located in the 130ft tall tower. This clock cost more than $1,300 and is still operational today. The first court session was held on October 5, 1896.
On the courthouse grounds are several veterans memorials and a statue honoring Seveir County native, Dolly Parton.
