Old Lee County Courthouse, County courthouse in Fort Myers, US.

The Old Lee County Courthouse displays neoclassical architecture with buff-brick exterior walls and fluted Doric columns at the main entrance point.

The cornerstone of this government building was placed on April 13, 1915, following debates between Commissioner William Towles and rival Harvie Heitman about its construction.

The building represents the early 20th century governmental development in Lee County, serving as a center for administrative operations and community gatherings.

The courthouse maintains offices for state legislature representatives and the Lee County Board of Commissioners, located at 2120 Main Street in Fort Myers.

The structure remained empty for four years from 1984 to 1988 before undergoing renovations that led to its National Register listing in 1989.
