The Monroe County Courthouse, built in the Romanesque Revival/High-Victorian style in 1895, is still used today. It features stone columns and historic wood and glass entryways. The beautiful terracotta detailing and ornamentation, as well as the hand painted, pressed metal ceiling make the courthouse a truly historic destination. The courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. Nearby, you’ll find the Confederate Soldier Monument and the Joel Chandler Harris memorial marker.
