It’s one of eight pre-Civil War courthouses still standing in Indiana. Architect Isaac Hodgson was responsible for the building. As was common practice in those days, he reused his Martinsville design for the 1861 Jennings County Courthouse in Vernon. It’s nearly identical, but both are unique for two big reasons: the first is that they are the only two complete examples of Italianate courthouse architecture in Indiana. The second reason the buildings are so peculiar is that both originally housed the county sheriff’s house, the county jail, and the courthouse all into one structure- something that can’t be found anywhere else in Indiana.
The Morgan County Courts are a Court of general jurisdiction, and has four elected Judges and one Magistrates, who are appointed by the elected Judges. The Court currently employs over 40 employees, which includes Court Reporters, Bailiffs, Probation Officers, Court Administrators, among others. The Judges of the Morgan County are elected to six-year terms.
