 |
The Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. Courthouse building was completed in 1900, less than ten years after its design was accepted. The Greek Revival style structure (designed by the architectural firm of Wyatt and Nolting) is six stories tall and occupies an entire city block. In 1985, the building was named after civil rights activist Clarence Mitchell. The regal Calvert Statue guards the Saint Paul Street entrance, while the Battle Monument stands near the opposite corridor in what is known as Monument Square.
