Old Greene County Courthouse and WWI Monument (Paragould, Arkansas)

Located on the former courthouse square in Paragould, this old beauty was erected in 1888 with the designs of architect J.E. Shane (he may have not been the original architect, but the architect of the renovation in 1918). It was replaced as the county's capitol in 1996-97 when the current Greene County Courthouse was constructed just to the west across the street from this one.

 

This Georgian Colonial structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.

 

The WWI Monument in the foreground was erected in 1920 using the work of John Paulding. It, too, was placed on the National Register in 1997.
