Scenic Kentucky: Old Fayette Co. Courthouse 2021-03-14 - Lexington, KY - Photo by Pen. Constructed in 1899, the old Fayette County Courthouse, located at 215 W. Main Street in downtown Lexington, underwent numerous mid-20th century changes to remain a functional court building. The courts eventually moved to newer and larger spaces anyway, and the building sat empty for several years. A renovation, completed in 2018, has returned it to its former architectural grandeur, and reclaimed the space as combination restaurant/bar, event and office space. It is currently home to the Lexington Visitor's Center, Zim's Cafe, The Thirsty Fox, and more. You can read more about the project at kentucky.com.
