Photographer's
Note:
"The
Ransom Annex on the
east side of the 1917 courthouse was completed in 1978 and is, essentially, the
new courthouse. The 1917 courthouse now houses county offices. This stone building
was designed by Barton D. Riley & Associates.
Both the South
and North side of
the 1917 Real County courthouse entrances were converted to windows.
The
courthouse contained a jail
with two small cells that was used until 1978. The bars can still be seen on the
windows." - Terry
