Wayne County Courthouse

The Wayne County Courthouse features Richardsonian Romanesque architecture with robust stone walls, large arches, and a central clock tower rising above downtown Richmond.

Architect James W. McLaughlin designed this National Register of Historic Places courthouse during the late nineteenth century as Wayne County experienced substantial growth.

The courthouse maintains extensive records of local history, including marriage licenses, court documents, and administrative proceedings that reflect the community development.

The courthouse houses multiple court divisions, including Circuit Court and Superior Courts, where residents can process legal documents from Monday through Friday.

Each courtroom within the building contains specific architectural elements that demonstrate the detailed craftsmanship of nineteenth-century stone masonry techniques.
