| This was the Bracken Count Courthouse
from 1863 to 1913. The first Bracken County Court
House, a brick building, was built in Augusta in 1797 on "the public square." It was destroyed in a fire on April 20, 1848. Ands while the county seat was moved to Brooksville in 1832 or 1839 (depending on which source you believe), the new courthouse in Brooksville wasn't erected until 1860-61. It's the building you see immediately below, and was condemned and dismantled in 1913. The present building was dedicated in 1915.

This building was on the northwest corner of Court House Square, along Miami Street. The old Court House is to the left, and the old jail is directly behind this building. The clerk's building was razed in 1914 for the construction of the new court house. |
