Built between 1810 and 1814 by architect William Stark, the design, inspired by the Parthenon in Greece, housed the city's courthouse, jail, and municipal offices. In 1844, the building fully transitioned to judicial use as the city council relocated to the city and county buildings in Wilson Street. (Photo by Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images)
