Bourbon County Courthouse (Kentucky)

The Bourbon County Courthouse, on Courthouse Square in Paris, Kentucky, was built in 1902.  It was designed by architect Frank P. Milburn in Beaux Arts style.  It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

The design was created originally by the architect as a proposal for a new Kentucky state capitol building in Frankfort, Kentucky.  A drawing was published in 1903 in a brochure supporting placement of the capitol in Frankfort.  The new state capitol was in fact built in a design by Frank Mills Andrews instead, but Milburn recycled his design for this building two years later, with some reductions.

It is included also in the Paris Courthouse Square Historic District.
