The Gibson County Courthouse

Gibson County is home to one of the premier courthouses in the Midwest. The cornerstone of the Gibson County Courthouse was laid June 17, 1884. Located in the county seat of Princeton, Indiana, the courthouse is the most significant historical structure in the county and one of the best examples of nineteenth century architecture in Southern Indiana. The architectural style may be classified as Romanesque Revival. Four corner towers frame four original center entries forming a Greek cross in design. A central clock tower rises monumentally above the center of the structure ending in a diagonally set widow's walk where the United States flag is displayed. The interior of the courthouse features black walnut and plaster reliefs extensively. Beautiful mosaic tiles make up the hallways of both the first and second floors with most offices retaining original oak floors. The Gibson County Courthouse was also used as the model for the Dept. 56 Original Snow Village Courthouse.
