Jackson County Courthouse

-A A +A
1913, William N. Bowman. 404 4th St. (at LaFever St.)

Dominating this sagebrush hamlet on a hilltop site, the three-story Neoclassical courthouse is made of large blocks of rough-faced native sandstone with dressed stone quoins and two-story Ionic columns of cracked concrete. Pediments and balusters dress up the roofline. The interior retains the original wood-work, signage, and floor plan.
