Simpson County Courthouse - Franklin, KY

This brick building with stone trim featuring small porches and a clock tower was designed by the McDonald Brothers from Louisville. It has undergone extensive remodeling and updating, but remains basically the structure built in 1882 using a Late Victorian style. In 1962, wings were added to mimic the original style. About 20 years ago, the county built a new criminal justice center.

This is one of those courthouses that used to be surrounded by mature trees, so you had to find creative views or see it in the winter. I was last here in 2008 and a tree that used to be right up to the building is now missing. The town square is located along highway U.S. 31W. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
