Tucker County Courthouse and Jail
Tucker County Courthouse and Jail, Renaissance Revival courthouse in Parsons, United States.
The Tucker County Courthouse and Jail features red pressed brick construction with distinctive Flemish Renaissance and Romanesque Revival architectural elements at First and Walnut Streets.
Built between 1898 and 1900, architect Frank P. Milburn designed this courthouse while Franzeim, Geisey and Faris created the adjacent jail structure completed in 1896.
The courthouse represents the administration of justice and local governance in Tucker County, maintaining its position as a center of civic activity.
The National Register of Historic Places listed building continues to function as an administrative center, though the jail operations moved to Tygart Valley Regional Jail.
The structure combines two separate facilities - a courthouse and former jail - into one cohesive architectural complex at the intersection of First and Walnut Streets.
