129 Words1 Pages
From 1854 until 1978 this building housed the Brunswick County Courthouse. The building subsequently housed offices for the City of Southport and currently houses the City of Southport Police Department. A previous wooden courthouse occupied this land but was torn down in the 1850s to allow construction of a brick structure that stands hidden below the current stucco exterior.

W. D. Morrell was the architect-builder for the courthouse. The building has undergone numerous repairs and alterations in the past 160 years. In 1922 a one-story porch was added to the facade. Interior woodwork dates mainly from the period 1890-1920. The building was covered with stucco when two wings were added in the 1960’s. It served as the county courthouse

MILLERSBURG — Looking into the face of the man she assaulted, a Killbuck woman who was high on LSD when she became violent with a Holmes County Sheriff 's deputy responding to a disconnected 9-1-1 call in October, said she was sorry.
