223/R365 - Christian County Courthouse - 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:

This photo was taken in 2013 during my previous Project 365…please visit my album for this “REMASTERED” Project 365 as I revisit each day of 2013 for additional photos to share!!

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.
