It's Friday in late July, so time for something a little different. You know what I haven't had — I think ever? A modern courthouse trivia question. So digging into my files from a couple of years ago, where is this courthouse? I don't think I've ever had a courthouse trivia question from this state before, though I've had other trivia from it.

Small forgettable city in the deep South that shares a name with a large unforgettable city in Europe?
Very nicely done, RH. Quite poetic answer. You get bonus points for that.
Though from the vantage of one who lives in NC, I'm not sure I'd say the state where this is is "deep south" — culturally deep south, yes. But not Alabama, which also has a city by this name.
Paris, Texas?
There's no Paris, Alabama that I know of.
An excellent puzzler, Al, as there are not a yuuge number of brutalist courthouses around. And not many in a southern city that shares the name of a Tuscany city, let alone a city with what was a once-common female first name.
The famous brutalist Breuer did the Strom Thurmond courthouse in the same state. As best I can tell, the one you picture was not done by a famous architect (and certainly wasn't done by Breuer).
