Lee County Courthouse, Neoclassical courthouse in Sanford, United States.
Lee County Courthouse is a two-story rectangular brick building in the Classical Revival style, completed in 1908. Its east and west sides each carry a monumental hexastyle portico of six Ionic brick columns, and a small dome sits atop the hipped roof.
The building was constructed in 1908 following the design of architect Charles McMillan. It received its National Register of Historic Places designation in 1979.
The courthouse keeps its 1908 role as Lee County's seat of justice, with courtrooms still in use. Visitors can read the building's civic purpose in its hexastyle porticoes and Ionic brick columns, a classical vocabulary chosen for a public institution in Sanford. The 1979 National Register listing recognised that surviving fabric.
The building is located at South Horner Boulevard between Courtland and McIntosh Streets. Keep in mind this is an active courthouse with restricted access during business hours.
The east and west sides each carry a hexastyle portico, meaning six Ionic brick columns across the front. Above the hipped roof sits a small dome, a detail easy to miss from street level. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
