• Franklin County Courthouse - Winchester TN
    The Franklin County Courthouse was undertaken during the Great Depression in Winchester, Tennessee with the assistance of funds provided by the Public Works Administration (PWA). The courthouse was constructed in a PWA Moderne style with "classical pilasters and low relief Art Deco details on exterior and interior" (Van West, 2001, p. 37). The three story building is limestone veneer and "notable for its central clock tower--the only New Deal courthouse in Tennessee to have such a feature" (Van West, p. 37). PWA funded $42,000 of the cost, and a $100,000 local bond issue provided the remainder.
