The courthouse was built in 1840 to replace the county's first courthouse; built in 1831 shortly after the county's organization, it had been outgrown by the end of the decade. Architect John Mandeville gave the building its Greek Revival design. The Hall of Records, which was also designed by Mandeville, was added in 1854 to house county records after the courthouse ran out of space for them. The Knox County seat moved to Galesburg in 1873; the courthouse and hall of records subsequently housed the Knoxville city hall and public library respectively until 1978, when the city government moved to the hall and the courthouse became a museum.[2] The buildings were added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 13, 1992.[1] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} {{National Register of Historic Places}}{{Illinois-NRHP-stub}}2. ^{{cite web|last1=Hutchcroft|first1=Sally|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration Form: Knox County Courthouse and Hall of Records|url=http://gis.hpa.state.il.us/pdfs/200901.pdf|publisher=Illinois Historic Preservation Agency|accessdate=February 5, 2016|date=October 20, 1991}} 6 : Courthouses on the National Register of Historic Places in Illinois|County courthouses in Illinois|Greek Revival architecture in Illinois|Government buildings completed in 1840|Buildings and structures in Knox County, Illinois|National Register of Historic Places in Knox County, Illinois |
