4.0Washington County Courthouse(11 reviews) - County Records and Court Spent < 1 hour Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings • Monuments & Statues • Government Buildings
I visit the courthouse a few times each year. The county maintains the courthouse near its origin foot-print. It's an impressive structure built in the earlier part of the 1900's. It has a nice park/lawn surrounding the building and it is used for a festival/events location yearly.See more..
4.0City Hall(9 reviews) - Another beautiful building in Jackson Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings • Government Buildings
A short walk from other attractions and beautiful buildings in Downtown Jackson. We were here on Christmas day so everything was closed. But the building itself is beautifully built and well maintained. The area is clean and kept up with. We only saw one homeless person and he was minding his own business on a nearby bench. The area felt pretty safe and nice for a walk to get to know a little more of the cities downtown.See more..
4.5Aberdeen City Hall(2 reviews) - Historic City Hall Saturday: Points of Interest & Landmarks • Architectural Buildings • Government Buildings
It's a beautiful building in the heart of downtown. It has so many features from the towering columns to the arch shaped windows. Built in 1912, it was designed in a blend of the Classical Revivalvand Beaux Arts styles of architecture by New Orleans architect William Drago. It is still being used today as the City Hall of Aberdeen.See more..
The Lafayette County Courthouse is the centerpiece of the historic Oxford Courthouse Square in Oxford, Mississippi. Located in the center of the square, surrounded by restaurants, art galleries, boutiques, department stores, book stores and other shops, it was constructed in 1872 to replace an earlier building that was destroyed during the Civil War. The two-story building was designed in the Greek Revival and Italianate architectural styles with four columns atop the arched entryway. Of most interest is the fact that the courthouse plays a significant role in Oxford native William Faulkner's fictional Yoknapatawpha County, which is based on Lafayette County where the Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winning author spent most of his life. The courthouse appears in many of Faulkner's short stories and novels. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.See more..
