The Butler County Courthouse in Greenville, Alabama. International Postcard Week 2023

Happy International Postcard Week 2023

The Butler County Courthouse, Greenville, Alabama

There have been four Butler County courthouses at this location.  The first one was built in the 1820's and lasted for more than 25 years before it was destroyed by fire on April 12, 1853. 

The second was another wood structure that cost around $6,000 to complete.  It was in use until 1870 when it became apparent that it needed extensive repairs and it was recommended by a committee to replace it with a larger building.  

By 1871 work started on the third building, this time it would be made of brick.  This one would last for 30 years before the county realized it was too small for their needs and was torn down to make room for a larger building.

The final courthouse was finished in 1903 and it was wired for electricity.  Considering the size f the town, this is quite remarkable!  There have been changes to the structure over the years, air conditioning was added 50 years later, the dome was replaced in 1977, but this building has lasted.  Personally, I hope it lasts for many years to come.

I wish you all the best and may your mailbox be filled with wonderful postcards,                                        Brenda Cole
