sumter county courthouse

the original sumter county courthouse was built in 1888 in sumterville. the sumterville courthouse was destroyed by fire in 1909. in 1912 the county seat of sumter county was moved to bushnell. the new sumter county courthouse was designed by architect william edwards and was built by contractor j. f. jenkins in 1914. this interesting neo classical, romanesque with spanish elements building is worth a look when in downtown bushnell.
