The Maycomb County Courthouse is a central building in the fictional town of Maycomb, created by author Harper Lee in her novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. The courthouse serves as the site for legal proceedings and symbolizes justice in the community. Its architecture reflects the style of the early 20th century, with a large clock tower and wide steps leading to the entrance. Surrounding the courthouse is a town square where residents gather, making it a focal point of Maycomb life. The courthouse is not only a place for trials but also a representation of the social and racial issues faced by the community during the 1930s.
