The property was added to the United States National Register of Historic Places on September 28, 1972.[1] HistoryScott County became the state of Kentucky's eleventh county on June 1, 1792 by the newly formed Kentucky Legislature from a section of Woodford County. The county was named after Charles Scott, an American Revolutionary War general who later was Kentucky's fourth governor. The first Scott County Courthouse was built in 1792 on a {{convert|1|acre|m2|adj=on}} lot sold to the county by Elijah Craig. The original building was replaced by a larger structure. A third courthouse was built in 1847 after a fire destroyed the second courthouse. The August 9, 1837, fire destroyed most of the records. A second fire in 1876 again destroyed Scott County courthouse and the fourth courthouse was built. This fourth courthouse remains today but is no longer used for trials but instead other official government affairs.[2][3] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 28, 1972.[1] LocationThe Scott County Courthouse is located in the center of downtown Georgetown, Kentucky at the intersection of Broadway and Main Street, where U.S. Route 25 (Broadway) crosses U.S. Route 460 (Main Street). ArchitectureThe 1877 courthouse was designed by Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania architect Thomas W. Boyd in the Second Empire style at the cost of $34,600.
