• Jackson Parish Courthouse and Jail - Jonesboro LA
    The Jackson Parish Courthouse was undertaken in Jonesboro, Louisiana during the Great Depression with the assistance of funds provided by the Public Works Administration (PWA). It was part of the largest wave of courthouse construction in Louisiana history, with eleven total courthouses erected between 1936-1940 (Leighninger, 2011). The courthouse for Jackson Parish is a "...relatively simple and sedate composition with deco bands above first and third floors...first floor is stone, and the upper two are brick" (Leighninger, 2007, p. 113-114). Cost of construction was $251,406.
