The Henry County Courthouse was designed by architect David W. Gibbs and completed in 1882 at a cost of $95,000. It is built in the Empire style. The courthouse is made of limestone and locally-made brick and features four, four-sided corner towers, each with mansard roofs and capped with finials. The clock tower is topped with a 15-foot statue of “Goddess of Justice.” Restoration of the building was completed in the 1990s and was rededicated on April 19, 1998.
Henry County, organized in 1834, is named after Patrick Henry, who was a political leader during the American Revolution. The courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
