Context/Comments

The Covington County Courthouse, built in 1907, is a locally important work of early twentieth century Classical Revival architecture, and is a well-executed and well-maintained example of the Classical Revival county courthouses built in Mississippi between about 1901 and 1920. It is the only notable example of Classical Revival architecture in the town of Collins and is the principal architectural landmark of Covington County.

This building was designated a Mississippi Landmark on 11 October 1985. It was listed on the National Register on 31 December 1991.

It is included in "Buildings of Mississippi" (2020) (p. 306, PW9).
