Description: | |||||
Completed in 1854 after the previous courthouse burned, this domed structure served as Wayne County's symbol for justice for nearly a century and a half. At an original cost of $50,000, it is a conservative building in the massive greek Revival style long favored for official buildings. Today the Courthouse houses the Board of Supervisors Chambers and offices, as well as other county offices. |
