Having had the opportunity to have finally visit Jacinto and the courthouse, I was struck with how small it is inside
The 1st floor rooms, 4, are the same floor plan as the Lafayette county courthouse that was rebuilt in 1872 after the original one was destroyed in 1864 in a Federal raid. It has been reported the new courthouse is the same size as the original
But they much smaller and coupled with the original brick floor it presents a more realistic size I would expect in 1836
The folks in the surrounding area, including
@MS2623 and
@16thAL, have done a wonderful job of restoring not only the courthouse but the community!!!
