Drew County Courthouse, Monticello, Arkansas: [195-?]

Share

Drew County Courthouse in Monticello, Arkansas, is the subject here, a civic building in the seat of a county in the southeast part of the state. The record dates the print only to the 1950s, with the decade drawn from a caption card, so the exact year of the photograph is uncertain. Courthouses of this era often served as the center of county government, housing records, courtrooms and offices, and they were frequently photographed as symbols of local public life. Viewers interested in mid-century architecture or southern county seats will find the image a useful glimpse of how these buildings presented themselves.
