The Old Courthouse
This Court House, the fifth for Jefferson County, was completed in 1860, nearly a quarter century after it was begun by architect Gideon Shyrock. In early years, the Court House contained many of the city government offices until the new Town Hall was completed in 1878. The Court House even served to house the Union-loyal Kentucky legislature briefly during the Civil War, when the state was divided between the North and the South. The building is located at 6th and Jefferson streets.
