Commanding a view over downtown Cape GIrardeau, this beautiful structure was completed in 1854 (and…read moresurvived the Civil War!) designed in the Federal style. It is two stories and includes a hipped roof and cupola. On a Sunday afternoon, the building was locked and secured so no opportunity to tour the inside. The outside, however, is stunning including the stairway down to the riverside neighborhood, the fabulous fountain (dedicated in 1911 in memory of the soldiers of the Civil War) and the bandstand. The bandstand had a couple of folks enjoying the power outlets and a nap. It's quite the structure and well worth a stop. [Review 1253 of 2024 - 355 in Missouri - 22276 overall]

When you move to Missouri, you are subject to an annual personal property tax.

The Cape office is on Lorimer Street to the right of the courthouse. Very efficient and friendly staff.

And so I made the turn to check it out. Completed in 1848, the courthouse is in the Southern Greek Revival style and the view from the porch of the famous Thebes Bridge (reviewed separately) and the Mighty Mississippi River (also reviewed separately) is tremendous. Inside, this classic structure are two hundred years of history, artifacts, photographs and some very helpful and friendly ladies who are more than happy to talk. Abraham Lincoln visited the courthouse when he was a frontier lawyer. One of the more infamous Supreme Court cases began its journey here when fugitive slave Dred Scott was imprisoned in the courthouse dungeon. Yeah, that Dred Scott and the ruling from SCOTUS in 1857 was that the US Constitution did not extend American citizenship to people of black African descent. This was thankfully overturned by the Civil War and the Fourteenth Amendment. [Review 1247 of 2024 - 201 in Illinois - 22270 overall]

Sitting high atop a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River in Thebes, Illinois is the 1848 Courthouse. Standing 165 years, it is a testament to architect Henry Ernst Barkhausen, who was awarded the contract for designing and supervising the erection of the Thebes Courthouse in 1845. This landmark was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

" Historical Court House Still In Use "…read more Because of the history of massive flooding on the Mississippi River and damage caused during the Civil War, the town of Greenville was moved northward. A new courthouse was built near the corner of Poplar and Nelson Streets. That building was replaced by the current two and a half-story building, constructed in 1891 and opened in 1892. It was modified in 1930, 1950, 1965 and 1976, tripling its original size. It is one of the few remaining examples of a stone Richardsonian Romanesque courthouse in Mississippi. We toured the court house on a day it was closed and was able to actually walk inside the courtrooms. Nice tour !

Whoever is in charge need to have periodical training on customer service because they act like you are asking them to do something outside of their job scope. This is unbelievable from people who main purpose is to provide customer support! Appalling. UPDATE as of June 2024: I am extremely dissatisfied with the Judge handling of my case. As a father concerned about my children's safety, I filed a motion to have our parental agreement changed because my ex violated it multiple times. Most alarmingly, she failed to inform me that she was dating someone convicted of molesting his stepdaughter, who is under a protective order until the 2030s. This is the second sex offender she has brought around our minor children. In January 2024, I e-filed an "emergency" motion and received a court hearing date for April. My ex was served through the e-file system. I also submitted over 20 pages of evidence to substantiate my case. In April 2024, I appeared in court with my attorney, but my ex did not appear, despite being properly served. I received an order to appear "in person" for a hearing in June, even though I marked the documents as an emergency. In June 2024, I again appeared in court with my attorney, and once again, my ex did not appear, ignoring the court' for a second time. Had this been a male defendant, the repercussions would likely have been more severe. Instead of addressing the emergency, the Judge set a hearing for case management in August 2024. It is clear that Judge (I can't say her name due to ongoing litigation) did not read the evidence thoroughly, ignored significant safety concerns I had regarding a convicted sex offender around my children, and her demeanor walking in the court room was not hopeful; as if she didn't feel like hearing my case. The handling of this case has been deeply disappointing from the start and hopeless. I'm dropping this case due to the bias and prejudice of this court. I have absolutely no faith in this court or the Judge to make any reasonable judgement. If anything happens to my children, it's on the Judge and my ex-wife. No man should have to present a year long case just to get a judge to take time, review the evidence, and make a temporary decision based on the evidence in their face. Absolutely appalling.

During the construction of this structure, there was interest in using locally-sourced red granite but Bedford limestone and Carthage marble were used instead. It is said that the building has an entrance on each side so that no business would have to face the back of the courthouse. [Review 1257 of 2024 - 359 in Missouri - 22280 overall]

Our tour was supposed to run about forty minutes, but we asked a lot of questions and it lasted over an hour- oops.

I was quite charmed by the house and especially the tour guide. On Bastille Day, the ticket price was a little higher than typical, at $12, but it included french dancing, storming the Bastille, plus the mock decapitation of Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI. The House Tour was excellent, and interesting, not to mention historical and educational. It was well worth the money mostly due to the humorous delivery and knowledge of the tour guide. The restrooms are nice, and located in the new carriage house; street parking is easy to find and free. I missed the gift shop and world's fair collection but will be sure to catch that next time. Not sure this trip has enough kid-friendly activities to keep kids interested. This is certainly a worthy destination for those looking to deepen their french roots on Bastille Day. As a bonus, the food truck "Holy Crepe" shows up on Bastille Day too.
