About Craighead County Courthouse (Arkansas)

Historic Architecture, Architecture, Interesting Places, Other Buildings And Structures

The Craighead County Courthouse is located at 511 Main Street, in the center of Jonesboro, Arkansas, the county seat of Craighead County. It is a two-story brick structure with limestone trim, built in 1934, and is the city's only significant example of Art Deco architecture. The building has a stepped appearance, with a large central block that has an oversized second story, and is flanked by smaller two-story wings, from which single-story sections project to the front and back. Vertical panels of fluted limestone accentuate corner projections from the main block, a motif repeated near the roof line of that block. The main entrance is recessed in an opening flanked by similarly fluted panels. The courthouse is the fifth of the county to stand on the site. Near the entrance to the courthouse stands a copy of John Paulding's World War I memorial, Over the Top, placed in 1920, and often confused with E. M. Viquesney's "Spirit of the American Doughboy".
