Wayne County's first courthouse was a two-story log structure. A total of four courthouses existed on this site, with two of them burning, before the final one was built in 1925. Paul Stokely recalled in 1987 that he cleaned bricks when the old courthouse was torn down, that the bricks were reused on the inside walls, and that he was paid 15 cents a hundred and cleaned a thousand a day. The final two courthouses of the Greenville area are pictured here.
