Hopkins County Courthouse

... that Hopkins County Courthouse (pictured) features an unusual double-helix staircase, a clock-less tower, and entrances that are located on its corners?

ALT1:... that Hopkins County Courthouse (pictured) lacks a clock tower because, as one of the town's early leaders declared, "[i]f you get up when the sun rises and go to bed when it sets, you don't need a clock"?

Interesting building with a history, on good sources. I like the original hook best but could do without "instead of its sides" which doesn't add. The second is original and wise but not about the building, the third mere quantity. Your image is licensed, beautiful and illustrates the hook well, - I hope to see it on the Main page.
