Description

History
The building was completed in 1897 and replaced earlier government facilities that were housed in hotels and makeshift locations. Its construction represented a major shift in how the county managed its official operations.

The building serves as the administrative heart of the county and a gathering place where locals come for official matters. Regular public meetings and community events happen here throughout the year.
Practical
The building is located in downtown Clinton and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can view the exterior easily, but access to the interior depends on business hours and whether judicial proceedings are taking place.
