Mud Lick, Kentucky This is the Mud Lick Volunteer Fire Department building in the unincorporated community of Mud Lick, Kentucky. Its six apparatus bay doors made the building the largest in the community bar none. I did not see many houses around here. However, Mud Lick once had its own U.S. Post Office. This community was featured in an episode of the science-fiction television series X-Files for having a monster in its backwoods. The place looked pretty peaceful to me. I later drove down Mud Lick Flippin Road, which connects Mud Lick to Flippin, Kentucky.

Green County, KY Court Clerk's Office From Wikipedia: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_County_Court_Clerk's_Office" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_County_Court_Clerk%27s_Office</a> The Court Clerk's Office-County & Circuit, on East Court St. in Greensburg, KY, was built in 1818. [Note: the sign to the right of the door says 1804.] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. It is Federal in style, and was built of dry stone construction, the best building method available during Kentucky's settlement period. The building served as the clerk's office until 1842. After 1877 it was the home of "Aunt Eunice", a former slave. The building was later bought and repaired by the City of Greensburg.

Green County 1931 Courthouse - Greensburg, KY Greensburg is home to the oldest courthouse west of the Appalachian mountains, and it's a couple of blocks away down Court Street in the middle of Greensburg's town square. This one has also been outgrown as the newer Green County Justice Center is across the street. This courthouse is also on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Downtown Greensburg Historic District (#53). Here is the writeup: <a href="https://npgallery.nps.gov/AssetDetail/33417a39-60fc-4c95-9bdf-31422c8c84bf" rel="noreferrer nofollow">npgallery.nps.gov/AssetDetail/33417a39-60fc-4c95-9bdf-314...</a> 53. Green County Courthouse The architect for this building used the Georgian Revival Style, popular throughout the country in the 1920s and 1930s. The principal stylistic devices are the keystones in the brick window arches, the stone bands circling the building at the first and second floor lines, the wooden cornice, and the engaged wooden porticoes at the main doorways. As in many Georgian structures, the central sections of the main facades of the building were emphasized by projecting them forward slightly. To further set off these central sections or pavilions, the upper windows in them were topped with round arches rather than the flat arches found elsewhere in the building. As in several other prominent structures built in Greensburg in the 1920s and 1930s, there are factory sash windows. The Globe Warnicke Construction Co. of Cincinnati completed construction on the building in 1932. Contributing.

Metcalfe Co. Courthouse - Edmonton, KY From Wikipedia: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalfe_County_Kentucky_Courthouse" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalfe_County_Kentucky_Courthouse</a> The Metcalfe County Kentucky Courthouse, on Public Square in Edmonton, Kentucky, was built in 1868–69. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. The courthouse is a two-story common bond brick structure, Italianate in style. It was deemed significant as "one of the oldest courthouses still standing in south central Kentucky since many have been torn down and replaced by new structures. It is the unofficial symbol or logo for Metcalfe County - the one thing all Metcalfe Countians can identify with and recognize."
