The Lafayette County Courthouse occupies a city block in the heart of Lewisville, Arkansas, the seat of Lafayette County. It is a two-story brick building with Art Deco styling, built in 1940-42 as a Works Progress Administration project. Although it has a basically rectangular plan, it has a stepped visual appearance, with single- and two-story projections. Ornamentation of the buff brick surfaces is minimal. It is the county's finest Art Deco structure.[2]
The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]
