Hopkinsville, Kentucky
Christian County in southwestern Kentucky was formed in 1797 with Hopkinsville being selected as the county seat. The county is named for Colonel William Christian, a native of Augusta County, Virginia, and a veteran of the Revolutionary War. He settled near Louisville, Kentucky in 1785, and was killed by Native Americans in southern Indiana in 1786. The building seen above is the 3rd version of the county courthouse and was built after the Confederates burned the 2nd version on December 12, 1864 because it was being used by the Union Army as their barracks. It was built in 1869 with architect J.K. Frick providing the design. This courthouse is included in the Hopkinsville Commercial Historic District that was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on April 30, 1979. Information about the courthouse and all the other structures included in the historic district can be found on the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration located here:

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

A view of the south facing facade of the Christian County Courthouse on the square in downtown Taylorville, Illinois. Completed in 1902 at a cost of $100,000, the beautiful three-story, white limestone building is further distinguished by a 40' high tower with clocks facing all four sides of the public square. The courthouse, Christian county's third, was designed in Romanesque Revival style by architect John W. Gaddis (1858-1931).
The Christian County Courthouse anchors the Taylorville Courthouse Square Historic District, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
