Columbia County Courthouse (Arkansas)
The Columbia County Courthouse in Magnolia, Arkansas, is the center of county government for Columbia County. The current courthouse, completed in 1905, is a prominent example of Beaux-Arts Classicism architecture. It replaced two earlier courthouses, one lost to fire and another proving inadequate for the county's growing needs.
The courthouse is a two-story structure constructed of brick with white stone trim. Significant architectural features include a central clock tower, arched windows, and decorative cornices. The interior houses courtrooms, county offices, and historical displays related to Columbia County.
The Columbia County Courthouse is located on the courthouse square in downtown Magnolia. It serves as a significant landmark and is a contributing property to the Magnolia Commercial Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The courthouse continues to function as the seat of county government, providing services and housing records for the citizens of Columbia County. Its historical and architectural significance makes it a point of interest for visitors and residents alike.
