Poinsett county courthouse top 6 facts
The Poinsett County Courthouse is located on a city block of downtown Harrisburg, Arkansas, bounded by Court, North Main, Market, and East Streets. It is a two story granite and concrete structure, set on a raised foundation. The central block is topped by a hipped tile roof, with an octagonal tower set on a square base at its center. The front facade has a Classical Revival tetrastyle Corinthian portico with a fully enclosed gable pediment. Wings on either side of the main block are lower in height, but project beyond the main block's front and back. They are capped by low balustrade surrounding a flat roof. The courthouse was designed by Mitchell Seligman of Pine Bluff and built in 1917 to replace an earlier courthouse which had been destroyed by fire.
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
