This courthouse was built in 1974 and is a couple of blocks away from the town square, located in US 64. This courthouse replaced an older courthouse from 1905 that couldn't be repaired any more. Built as part of a major urban renewal plan, it was built for $1.1 million, and is currently being expanded. This one certainly has a modern 70's look to it, with a large fountain in the front turned off for the season.
