353/R365 - Jackson County Courthouse - Gainsboro, Tennessee

The Gainesboro Historic District is located in the community of Gainesboro in rural central Jackson County, Tennessee. The District is comprised of commercial buildings, two residences, two churches, a small cemetery, and the Jackson County Courthouse (seen in the photograph above). Taken together, these components successfully portray the historic appearance of a small Middle Tennessee town that is centered around a courthouse. Jackson County was formed in 1801 from Smith County and was named in honor of General Andrew Jackson. During the first years of Jackson County, court sessions were held at several locations. On November 14, 1815, an act was passed to locate the center of the county and move the seat there. The new town was to be named Gainesboro in honor of General Edmond Pendleton Gaines of the War of 1812. This act did not result in the actual founding of the town. The act that actually relocated the county seat was passed on October 6, 1817, and Gainesboro was established at that time. The town was laid off on forty acres of land that been given to the county by David Cox. The land was divided into lots and then put up for sale, with the proceeds used to pay for a courthouse and jail. The Jackson County Courthouse was constructed in 1927. It is a 3 story, masonry constructed structure with cut stone foundations and is sided with yellow bricks & 8/8 double-hung windows. The roof is hidden by parapet walls that have triangular pediments decorated with limestone swags and urns. To date, Gainesboro is the eleventh oldest town in the State of Tennessee.

On October 25, 1990, the District and this historical building was added to the National Register of Historic Places. All the information above was gleaned from the original documents submitted to the NRHP for listing consideration. More about the historical district can be read in the documents found here:

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image. Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.
