Old Charlotte County Courthouse, County courthouse in Punta Gorda, Florida
The yellow brick courthouse building at 226 Taylor Street features prominent Ionic columns and elevated foundation for flood protection.
Built in 1928 by Paul H Smith of Haines City, the courthouse remained the center of county operations until its replacement by a new Justice Center in 1999.
The building includes a mural on Olympia Avenue commemorating George Brown, an African-American businessman who sold the land for the courthouse construction.
The facility now serves as the office location for the Supervisor of Elections and functions as a voting site in the former courtroom.
The courthouse required an investment of $200,000 in 1928, including $25,000 for land acquisition and an initial construction bid of $106,900.
