5th District Appellate Court
5th District Appellate Court, Greek Revival courthouse in Mount Vernon, US.
The Mount Vernon courthouse features large rectangular windows, fluted Ionic columns, and a double entrance door with round-headed windows on each side.
Built in 1854, this courthouse initially served as the southern division of the Illinois Supreme Court until all sessions moved to Springfield in 1897.
The building represents early Illinois judicial architecture and stands as one of the few remaining courthouses constructed between 1836 and 1857 in the state.
The courthouse maintains its original function as the Fifth District Appellate Court and includes a modern office building extension for current court operations.
The structure incorporates a pair of curving wrought-iron staircases leading to the second floor, manufactured by craftsmen from St Louis, Missouri.
