Note: A gentleman in the JP's office told me that after the original
stone facade started to fall from the building in large chunks, the
entire courthouse was encased in brick. - Terry Jeanson, June 2007 |

roads around the old courthouse square in Cooper are paved with red
brick. The current courthouse is actually one block west of the square.
This gazebo sits on the foundation of the 1900 courthouse." -
