The Courthouse Hill Historic District
Courthouse Hill, from the Atlas of Rock County (1893).
Christ Eptscopal Cnurcn, Court Street, Iol. Razea.
Over its more than 150-year history, Courthouse Hill has
been the site of a cemetery, a school, and several churches
and public offices as well as houses. The first Rock County
Courthouse, built in 1842 and burned in 1859, was located on
the present courthouse block. A second courthouse was
completed in 1871. It was demolished in 1957 after the
construction of the current building. The first high school,
built in 1859, was located on the site of present-day Jefferson
Park. The park site was formerly a cemetery.
The Trinity Episcopal Church (1931) at 409 East Court Street
is the only church remaining in the district. Trinity replaced
the earlier Christ Episcopal Church. The All Souls Unitarian
Church (1866) still stands just west of the district. The
building was converted to apartments in 1902.
