Old Town BSL District #450

1911 - Neo-Classical - Hancock County Courthouse (Contributing)
Two-story, brick, five-bay-wide Neo-Classical style courthouse. The center three bays advance, forming a two-bay-deep pavilion; the center entrance bay also advances slightly. The entrance is a double door, flanked by single doors, with blind panels separating the doors from patterned transoms. A porch with two-story Ionic columns supporting a full-entablature extends across the center pavilion on the main façade. First-story (main façade) windows are 1/1 double-hung-sash with window caps with keystones. Upper-story windows (main façade) are 1/1 double-hung-sash with blind panels and transoms. Belt courses, forming continuous sills, divide the first and second stories. The side façades are eight-bays-wide; the center four bays advance to form wings. The building sits on a high concrete foundation and has a low-pitched hip roof. A jail was added to the rear in the 1930s and has been incorporated into a two-story, brick addition built c. 2006-2009.
