History

A public multipurpose building was moved into the city of Cherokee in 1863. In addition to court functions, it also served as a public hall, schoolroom, and a general utility headquarters.[1] Several attempts to replace the building failed until 1888 when voters agreed to build a combination courthouse and jail. Completed in 1891, the Romanesque Revival-style building featured rusticated limestone on the lower levels, brick on the upper levels, gables on the third story, and a corner clock tower. The present two-story Modernist brick structure replaced it in 1966.[2] Cherokee County issued $475,00 in bonds for its construction.[1] The building was constructed into the side of a slope so that both floors are visible from Main Street, while form North Sixth Street only the upper floor is visible.

gollark: The Nim GC presumably doesn't know what references are present within cmark's structures.
gollark: And the function returned or something.
gollark: If I did that, wouldn't it incorrectly try and free a node if it had just been added to a tree?
gollark: A node is only going to need to be the root of a document tree somewhere (needs freeing once all operations on it are done), part of a tree owned somewhere else (will be freed when the root is), or something which is going to be appended to a tree soon™.
gollark: Can I just `GC_unref` it when adding it to a tree, or something like that? Does that work for `--gc:orc`?
