Facts and practical information

The Muhlenberg County Courthouse, located at 100 S. Main St. in Greenville, is the center of government of Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. Built in 1907, the courthouse was Muhlenberg County's third permanent courthouse since the county's creation in 1798. Louisville-based architects Kenneth McDonald, Sr. and William J. Dodd - among the most prominent architects in the region at the turn of the 20th century - designed the courthouse. Their Beaux-Arts design features an recessed entrance pavilion set atop a flight of ten stairs and topped by a portico - which exhibits elements of the Neoclassical style - supported by columns. The building is topped by a Baroque octagonal cupola with a clock face on four sides. The interior floor plan is symmetrical. ()
