I'm going to be placing this one on hold. The refs are mostly dead, but that's pretty normal when the sources seem to have been first accessed in 2009. Hopefully it's an easy fix. Hog Farm ( talk) 01:59, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
This article is part of Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/20210315 and the Good article (GA) drive to reassess and potentially delist over 200 GAs that might contain copyright and other problems. An AN discussion closed with consensus to delist this group of articles en masse, unless a reviewer opens an independent review and can vouch for/verify content of all sources. Please review Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/February 2023 for further information about the GA status of this article, the timeline and process for delisting, and suggestions for improvements.

It represents the participation of the federal government in the preservation and commemoration of historically significant events related to the conclusion of the American Civil War.same as above.
The first building constructed after the county became official was the original wooden county jail built in 1845. The original courthouse was built across the street from the Clover Hill Tavern in 1846.Not sure what source verifies this. The link at the end of the paragraph covers other material but not this.
The four-panel entry doors on the main level are flanked by 12/12 double hanging sash windows." to "The doors within the porches are paired, 4-panelled, and the porches are flanked by 12/12 double-hung sash with 2-panel, non-operable, louvered shutters." and note the retention of the document's peculiar language (12/12 double hung) and also that this description which made sense in a text-only document makes little sense alongside the excellent photos of the building.

The National Park FAQ page says:
That suggests the name of the article is incorrect. Do we need to consider correcting it? Is the National Park (NP) mistaken?
I looked up some other towns that were named after their court houses, to see what name they used:
After reading Courthouse and noting that Court house wikilinks to Courthouse, and googling "courthouse", it does appear that is often the official name of these buildings, but that it seems to vary quite a lot and can to some extent be used interchangeably. So I am inclined to propose renaming the article. Would like to hear what others have to say before I make a proposed move. -- David Tornheim ( talk) 05:18, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
