Oxford Courthouse Square Historic District
Oxford Courthouse Square Historic District, Historic district in Oxford, Mississippi.
The Oxford Courthouse Square Historic District features two-story brick buildings with cast-iron columns surrounding a central county courthouse built in 1871.
The district earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980, marking nearly 150 years of continuous service as Oxford's administrative center.
Literary connections permeate the district, as William Faulkner incorporated the courthouse and surrounding buildings into several of his acclaimed works.
The district houses numerous retail establishments, professional offices, and government services at the intersection of South Lamar Boulevard and Jackson Avenue.
The courthouse grounds contain both a William Faulkner statue at City Hall and a Confederate memorial on the south-facing side of the main building.
