The Bell County Courthouse designed in the Renaissance Revival style was truly a magnificent structure in 1884. This structure, which was built before the current state capital, is one of Texas' finest courthouses in a collection of outstanding public buildings. However, like many of the prominent Texas courthouses, federally funded renovation projects of the 1930's and 1950's had a detrimental impact on the building. The clock tower and much of the rich roof details were removed, the historic interior was modernized and radically altered.
The present Commissioners Court began the process of a complete restoration of the Bell County Courthouse. The restoration began in August 1998 and the interior renovation was completed in November 1999. The statue, dome, and clock tower were replaced with replicas in December 1999, returning the Courthouse to near its original beauty. The Courthouse is on the National Register of Historic Buildings and on the State Archeological Site Register.
At the present time there is a lot of controversy over the confederate statue you see on this side of the courthouse. It has been there 101 years. The NAACP wants it removed.

Tucker, GA was created from the old Georgia Militia District named, Browning District #572. The militia districts were created in 1824 and there were originally 16 militia districts in DeKalb County. Our own, Browning Courthouse was a civil court, where a Justice of the Peace would be present on the third Saturday of each month. It was also used as a community meeting place. From current research, the small courthouse is the only example in the county of a militia district courthouse while other militia districts held court in homes or shops within the county.
Today, Browning Courthouse is used as a small museum which has been furnished as it might have been in the 1800's and has a display of copies of some of the court records dating back to the early 1800's.

This is the Jefferson County Courthouse in downtown Charles Town, West Virginia. The abolitionist John Brown was tried here after his failed slave revolt in 1859; he was hung nearby after his conviction. This is perhaps the final spark that started the American Civil War. William Blizzard, the coal miner union leader, was tried and acquitted here in 1922. He led the miners on a strike that turned bloody after strike busters attacked the strikers. Charles Town was founded in 1786 by Charles Washington, the youngest brother of George Washington.

This is the 1896 County Courthouse in Denton, Texas. The camera is looking north-northwest. You can see the City Hall I mentioned earlier--with the red tile roof and bell tower. Note the "IOOF" sign at the extreme right. As I've mentioned elsewhere, this stands for Independent Order of Odd Fellows. It is a benevolent fraternal order I believe Calhoun Middle School is visible on the left hand border..
Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park is a state park of Arizona in the United States. Located in Tombstone, the park preserves the original Cochise County courthouse.
The two-story building, constructed in 1882 in the Victorian style, is laid out in the shape of a cross and once contained various county offices, including those of the sheriff, recorder, treasurer, and the Board of Supervisors as well as courtrooms and a jail.
Inside, the courthouse contains a museum with numerous artifacts from the town's history while outside, a replica gallows has been constructed in the courtyard to mark the spot where seven men were hanged for various crimes. The park was one of the first to be designated as a state park and in 1959 was the first to open following the 1957 establishment of the Arizona State Parks Board.
