Gilchrist County Courthouse, County courthouse in Trenton, Florida.

The Gilchrist County Courthouse is a county courthouse in Trenton featuring traditional government architecture with brick construction and symmetrical design. The building houses various administrative offices, including the Clerk of Circuit Court, which manages court records, legal documents, and financial transactions.

Built in 1933, the courthouse became an important addition to Florida's judicial infrastructure during Gilchrist County's early years. Its construction coincided with the county's need for new public buildings to serve its growing government functions.

The courthouse serves as a gathering place where county residents handle official matters and access local records that shape community life. It reflects how such buildings anchor civic identity in small towns through their daily operations.

The courthouse stands at 112 South Main Street in Trenton, a two-story red brick building with a triple arched entry porch reached through four sets of double columns. Enter from Main Street; the 1965 one-story additions hold auxiliary offices. Plan official business for weekday office hours, when the Clerk of Circuit Court and other offices are staffed.

The 1933 building was one of the Works Progress Administration's Depression-era projects, and its design came from the Jacksonville firm Smith, Holborn, and Dozier. In 1989 it appeared in A Guide to Florida's Historic Architecture from the University of Florida Press.
