Shelby County Courthouse
the Shelby County Courthouse is a historical Must see.
The Shelby County Courthouse is the third to be built in Shelbyville. The building was built in one year and completed at the cost of $72,987.
The building is classic in its design, two stories high with a basement. The red brick is trimmed in stone with a spire-like tower rising fifty feet above the roof. At each corner, small cupulos rise sixteen feet above the cornice line. The tower and cupulos are constructed of brick and iron. |
In 1896 the building was wired for electricity. Hot water heat was installed at that time. Redecorating was completed in 1907. In 1955, the original slate roof was replaced with asphalt.
Further redecorating in the 1960’s made the circuit courtroom and offices on the second floor more modern with an elevator and air conditioning added. |
