An image of the Colbert County Courthouse in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Completed in 1882, the Tuscumbia courthouse was razed in its entirety, save for its brick walls, and rebuilt, with a clock tower added, in 1909. The Colbert County Courthouse, which features Greek Revival and Italianate influences, is part of the Colbert County Courthouse Square Historic District, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
