Other Information:
This Floyd County courthouse was completed in 1893 . As originally
built, this courthouse had a clock tower -- but apparently because
of lack of funds, no clock was installed for almost 100 years
(see photo
1 and photo
2). Remodeled in 1938, the building served as courthouse
until 1978, when the former U.S. Post Office building became
Floyd County's new courthouse (see
photo). In the 1980s, the old courthouse was rehabilitated,
and in 1991 a clock finally installed. Though no longer used
as a courthouse, the old courthouse is still used today to house
the Floyd County tax commissioner and other county offices.
