a. The Dade County Courthouse has served continuously as the seat of government
since its completion in 1928. At the time it was finished, the courthouse
was said to be the tallest structure south of Baltimore. The building
is an outstanding example of Neo-Classical architecture. The base of the
28-story skyscraper is sheathed in Stone Mountain granite, while the rest
of the tower is covered in terra cotta tinted to match the granite. The
Dade County Courthouse was listed in the National Register of Historic
Places in 1989.
