This one-story, tan brick classical building with a pilastered five-bay facade replaced Rosedale’s first courthouse (1889), which was sinking into the moist Delta soil. At the center is a cast-stone Doric portico in antis beneath a decorated attic featuring a clock, donated by Florence Sillers in 1975, and a cast-concrete bas-relief of an eagle and crossed flags. A 1950s extension forms a one-story wing at the rear, and a 1970s jail completes the building’s U-shaped footprint. Rosedale is the older of Bolivar County’s two county seats, sharing the status with Cleveland.
