| Clark County Courthouse – Winchester, Ky. (Photo: University of Kentucky) |
Last week, I received several good guesses attempting to answer last week’s #ThrowbackThursday. Someone guessed Jefferson County (Louisville), while another guessed Lincoln County (Stanford). It was, however Michael Chambers who was the first to accurately identify last week’s #TBT photograph of the Clark County Courthouse in Winchester.

| Clocktower of the Clark Co. Courthouse |
The magnificent edifice of the Clark County Courthouse in downtown Winchester was completed in 1855 the cost about $40,000. The iconic Clocktower was added in 1889, while a rear addition was built in 1938.
Last week’s photo was taken in 1939 after the completion of that rear addition. It is contained in the Goodman-Paxton Photographic Collection at the University of Kentucky.
