DAVIE COUNTY’S FIRST COURTHOUSE, 1837-1922
1917 photo above, Easter Monday, April 9
Early 1900’s photos of the old courthouse are below.
For more photographs of the old courthouse, see pages 9-19 of Images of America Davie County
The old courthouse being razed with the new
courthouse at the right
Date: late February of 1922
Questions to ask while you’re reading the following
pages:
Which won out – respect for vintage
architecture or just straightening a road?
How did the ladies feel about their hard work
when the community building only existed for 6
years?
This photo at left was sent to me by a researcher who
found it in her great grandfather’s belongings. It is her
thought that the location is the stage of the old court
house. If anyone has an opinion or proof of this, please
let us know.
It seems that the men who are holding saws had just
had a concert using them. Yes, this can be a musical
instrument. If you Google “playing the saw” you will
find YouTubes and special saws for sale.
However, it takes a bow to play it and none is visible.
This is a step from the old courthouse. The step now rests in front
of Davie County Public Library. This was donated by Gwyn
Meroney and his brother.
RESEARCH ABOUT THE OLD COURT HOUSE
This was located in the center of the square, and cars and buggies drove around it.
Quotes from Articles in the History Room of Davie County Public Library
From History of Davie County, page 118: “The
Courthouse was built in the exact center of the present
one and one-half acre town square at the intersection of
Main Street, then called Henderson Street (90 feet wide),
and Depot Street, then called Factory Street (40 feet
wide). It was described in the Western Carolinian on
April 25, 1839, as a ‘handsome edifice of brick…two
stories high 45 by 40 feet with a vestibule 10 x 30 feet
which fronted toward the south, ornamented by four half-
circular pillars…The north end was also ornamented with
the same number of pillars made in similar style.’
“A bright copper ball about twelve inches in
diameter topped the cupola spire. This copper ball was a
target for Stoneman’s soldiers when they passed through
Mocksville, April 11, 1865.”
1837: Davie County Court House. In 1837 a
contract was entered with Colonel Henry R. Austin for the
building of the Court House and Jail at the price of
$11,312.00. This building was used until 1909 when a
new Court House was erected. This old Court House was
torn down in 1922.
1912: In 1912, two first-floor rooms were being
used as a public library. (History of Davie County, page
307)
16 June 1915: A Community Building. Davie
county is one of the few counties in North Carolina that
has, or will soon have, a community building. The ladies
of the town have taken the matter in hand, and the county
commissioners have donated the old court house, which
will be used for this purpose. The building will be
repainted and remodeled throughout, and will contain the
public library, which is a credit to the town, and on the
ground floor will be a ladies rest room fitted up with all
conveniences for the benefit of the ladies and children
who come to town to shop. A museum will also be
situated on the ground floor of the building and will
contain many old relics, among them being the grave
stones of the father and mother of Daniel Boone, whose
bodies repose in Joppa graveyard, two miles west of
town. The second floor of the building will be fitted up
and turned into an auditorium, where amusements of
various kinds will take place. The Record is proud of the
work the ladies of the town are doing, and every citizen of
the county should assist them in every way possible in the
good work they have undertaken. When completed the
community building will be a big advertisement for our
town and a great convenience to the citizens of both the
town and county.
16 June 1915: The Community Building. Now
that the old county court house has been turned over to
the citizens and women of Davie to be used for public
benefit to all residents of county and visitors, it is with the
deepest concern for the success of the undertaking that we
ask both the co operation and financial aid of the citizens.
That a committee of Davie county women with nothing
save their own initiative, courage and energy have
undertaken to raise a sum of money sufficient to save
from devastation and make habitable one of our oldest
and most historic structures, should appeal to every
man or woman who has ever lived in the county. They
should open their purses wide and come to the rescue.
We ask immediate contributions as work is to begin at
once on repairing the building. A sum of money will
have to be borrowed until we can make the money to
replace the immediate expenditure. Please rally at once
that the loan may be a small one. Send all contributions
to Miss Ruth Booe, Mocksville, N.C., Treasurer of
Community Service Organization. As our most pressing
demand seems to be the ‘Rest Room’ for families
spending a day in town; a waiting place for those who
come in on morning and afternoon trains and must go to
some appointed place until their relatives come for them;
a comfortable room where those bringing their lunches to
town may go and eat them, etc., we hope to open the
“Rest Room” within a few weeks. As all donations with
donors names will be published weekly unless otherwise
requested, we ask to be advised concerning making public
your gift. We thank you in advance for all the financial
support and co operation we feel sure you will offer.
Most cordially, Linda Clement
19 June 1915: Mocksville Public Library will
celebrate its third birthday at the Community Building.
(Davie Record)
23 June 1915: Work will begin this week on the
remodeling of the old court house. Mr. Fry, of Statesville,
has the contract to do the work.
23 June 1915: The Salisbury Post. The old
court house at Mocksville is being turned into a
community building, and the good women of the
community have undertaken to raise the funds for putting
it in repair for this useful purpose. “Little” Davie is one
of the richest jewels of the State and she is not lagging.
The splendid new court house is a great credit to the
county that is building roads and doing other
commendable things, and now with the old building
turned into a place for social service Davie will retain a
front line position. Just now Davie county is most
beautiful, for her fields are bearing a wonderfully rich
harvest of grain.
30 June 1915: The Community Building. Work
was commenced on the old court house last week. The
building has been re-penciled which adds much to its
appearance. The wooden parts of the building will be
repainted, the cupalo (sic) remodeled and new blinds put
up. The large pillars on the north and south ends of the
building will be repaired and much work done on the
interior. The library room on the first floor has already
been remodeled and presents an attractive appearance.
When completed, the Community Building will be a
thing of beauty and a joy forever to all the citizens of
the county.
15 September 1915: Ladies Need Help. The
Community Building in this city has been painted, new
blinds put up, and a new floor laid in a part of the
Davie Dossier, October 2013 page 6
building. The ladies of the Community Service deserve
much praise for the great work they have done. There is
still some debts to pay on the building and a neat sign
reading “Davie County Community Building,” is needed
on the building. This painting will cost between $12 and
$15, and the Record has taken the liberty to raise the
amount needed for this special work, so that strangers
passing through our county and town will know that we
have a Community Building, which is the third such
building in the United States. It will help us advertise our
county. We hope that every person in Davie county and
anywhere else will contribute to this fund. Amounts
ranging from 5 cents to $5 will be gladly accepted. The
names of all contributors will be printed in The Record
without we are requested otherwise. If more than enough
money is received than it will take to paint the signs the
same will be used to help furnish the ladies rest room.
Let every good citizen in this section send in their
contribution this week if possible so that the work may be
done at once. Send all contributions to The Davie
Record, Mocksville, N.C.
29 September 1915: Two signs have been
painted on the Community Building, so that he who runs
may read. The liberal hearted people of the town
contributed the amount necessary to have the work done,
and we thank them in behalf of the ladies who are doing
so much for the convenience of the public in fitting up the
building.
25 October 1915: The old court house is to be
used as a town hall and will be used this winter to exhibit
moving pictures.
27 October 1915: The up-stairs of the
Community Building has been greatly improved. A nice
stage has been erected and the floor built up, with
elevated seats in the rear. A fine place for ente rtainments.
27 October 1915: A three hour old-timey
singing was held on Sunday afternoon in the Community
Building using Christian Harmony songbooks.
1 January 1916, Farm and Home. Helping
Country Women. When the commissioners of Davie C.,
N.C. decided to build a modern courthouse seven years
ago, they left standing the center of the public square the
old courthouse built about 1836. It was a substantial
brick building, but as it was practically unoccup ied it
came to be regarded as an eyesore. At last the women of
Mocksville got together and asked the county
commissioners to give or least it to them for 99 years and
they would make of it a community building.
After some months consideration the
commissioners leased it to them for 10 years. They went
to work, had the house repaired and painted, put in a
sewerage system and made needed arrangements for the
comfort and convenience of the women who come to
town. They can go there in perfect safety and have a
place to leave their children. Someone is in charge of the
building all the time during the day to look after the needs
of all who are admitted. There is a library with books and
magazines from which books may be taken to read at
home. There are also rest rooms and other conveniences.
The old courtroom is worked over into a hall that is used
by the women for concerts, etc., and also rented to some
of the fraternal organizations. In this way some of the
running expense is met.
On a recent Sunday the people from all over the
county gathered at 10 a.m. and held what they called an
“old time singing”. It had been well advertised over the
county for two weeks and the old courthouse was filled to
overflowing, while many who could not gain admittance
stood nearby to listen to the old hymns and melodies.
Everybody seemed well please with everybody else and
the outcome was very helpful and inspiring – J.H. Cain
1 March 1916: Court House Burns [1909, new
courthouse] Finest and Most Costly Structure in the
County Goes up in Smoke, While People Stand Helpless
The Community Building will be turned into a court
house again for the present.
24 May 1916: Rest Room Open. The ladies of
the city who have worked so long and faithfully to secure
means with which to furnish the ladies rest room in the
Community Building have succeeded in their efforts and
the rest room is now open to the public at all times. The
furniture arrived last week and the room was opened
Tuesday. The furniture is mission style and consists of a
number of chairs, cloak rack, tables, etc., and the room
presents a neat and attractive appearance. Additional
furniture will be installed soon. It is hoped that the ladies
of the town and county will feel free to use this room at
any and all times, as it was furnished for their comfort and
convenience. The ladies of the Utility Club are deserving
of much praise for the good work they have accomplished
and the room will stand as a monument to their faithful
and uniting zeal in a good work well done. The ladies
composing the club are Mesdames B.F. Hooper, J.K.
Farmwalt, Ervin Steele, Misses Mary Sanford, Sarah
Gaither, Luna Brown, Mary Heitman, Mary Meroney,
Sarah Miller, Linda Clement, Margaret Bell and Marie
Allison. The ladies requests [sic] us to ask the gentlemen
to refrain from smoking and spitting on the floor while
passing through the hallway of the building. It is hoped
that when the auditorium is used that the gentlemen will
also abide by these rules, as it is impossible to keep a
building neat and in a sanitary condition without the
cooperation of the public. We feel sure that all our
citizens will do as requested. We cannot close this article
without referring to the faithful work of Miss Ruth Booe,
who secured the aid of the citizens in converting the old
court house into a modern Community Building, of which
we are all proud. Miss Booe worked long and faithfully
in securing funds to remodel the building, and she has the
thanks of all our citizens.
8 November 1916: The ladies of the town will
have an oyster supper Monday night of court week
proceeds to go to community building.
9 August 1918: The county commissioners
resumed control of the court house. Downstairs offices
were renovated for use by American Red Cross during
WWI. (History of Davie County, page 308.)
January 1922: Two articles were printed that
opposed tearing down the old courthouse. One was from
Benjamin Wyche of Charlotte and the other was from
L.H. Clement of Salisbury. Wyche said, “If this “Temple
Davie Dossier, October 2013 page 7
of Justice” must give place to a bit of paving, then remove
it, as it stands, to an adjoining lot.”
11 January 1922: Old landmarks are all right in
their places, but modern, up-to date buildings are worth
much more to a community that wants to grow and get
along in the world. Our town has a number of old
landmarks that are an eyesore to the citizens and even
the stranger that is within our gates. Tear down the
old buildings and erect in their stead some modern
office buildings, a new hotel, store rooms, etc.
11 January 1922: The old court house which
has been weathering the storms and wintery blasts for
about 85 years, is to be torn down to make way for the
new concrete highway that is to run through the town.
This old landmark was built in 1837 and was used as a
court house until 1909, when a new court house was
erected. For the past several years it has been used as a
community building with a free library, rest room, welfare
office, etc. on the lower floors and a moving picture show
upstairs. The removal of this building will add a great
deal to the appearance of the town. There are a few more
old landmarks around the square that should be torn
down.
1 February 1922: Notice of Sale of “Old Court
House”. Pursuant to a resolution duly adopted by the
Board of Commissioners of Davie County, at a called
meeting held in the Court House at Mocksville, N.C.,
January 9th, 1922, the undersigned will offer for sale to
the highest bidder for cash, at the Court House door of
Davie County on Monday, the 6th day of February, 1922,
at 12 o’clock, m, the following property, to wit: “The Old
Court House” of Davie County, now located and situate in
the Public Square in the town of Mocksville, N.C. There
will be excepted from same the bell, all furniture, cabinets
and other fixtures now in said building. The purchaser
will be required to remove said building and all debris
from said public square within sixty days from date of
sale. The right to accept or reject any and all bids is
hereby reserved by the Board of Commissioners. (Davie
Record)
8 February 1922: Farewell, old court house, we
hate to part with you, but you have served your purpose
well. Great men have stood within your portals and
uttered truths that have long ago been forgotten and many
of the orators have passed into the great beyond. Vance,
Settle, Aycock, Linney, Pritchard, Kitchin, Craig and
many other notables are numbered, with those who have
brought tears and laughter to great assemblies in the old
building. But you must torn away to make room for
greater improvements. We are glad to bid you farewell.
(Davie Record)
8 February 1922: Big Crowd Attends Sale. A
larger crowd of citizens from all parts of Davie county
were in town Monday attending the commissioners
meeting and to be present at the sale of the old court
house. There were several bidders but B.R. Bailey of
Advance, was the highest and got the building for $455.
The sale will remain open until next Monday for a 110
per cent. Bid. At that time petitions will be heard from
the people as to whether they want the building moved or
let it remain in the middle of the street. The Record
believes that 75 per cent. of the citizens of the county
want the old structure removed and 40 foot concrete street
built through the heart of the square.
15 February 1922: Old Court House To Be
Torn Down. About one hundred citizens of Davie county
met at the court house Monday morning to hear various
and sundry arguments put before the County
Commissioners as to why the old court house should be
left standing. Attorney E.L. Gaither was the first speaker
and used some time in discussing why the old building
should be left standing. Mr. Gaither was followed by
Attorney E.H. Morris, who advocated the retention of the
old court house. The next speaker was Attorney A.T.
Grant who spoke in favor of tearing down the building.
Several petitions were before the Board for and against
the old building. After discussing the matter among
themselves the Commissioners ordered that the bid of
$455 put on by B.R. Bailey be rejected and ordered that
the road Com-missioners tear down the building and
remove material from the square. (Davie Record)
18 January 1922: At the Davie Theater.
Saturday: “The Wild Engine”, “The Sheriff’s Dilemma”
and one reel comedy. Monday: “What Every Woman
Learns” with Enid Bennett starring. Show starts at 7:30.
[In early February, “the Davie Theater gave their last
show in the building Saturday night”. Gwyn Meroney
said that his grandmother told him that the first movies in
Mocksville were shown in the old courthouse.]
23 February 1922: Old Court House Torn
Away. Although work began last week on the tearing
down of the old courthouse, nothing much wa s done until
Monday. The county commissioners have put the work in
charge of Mr. N. S. Mullican and he has the force of good
road workers at work on it.
A large number of people have been watching
the work progress, discussing the pros and cons, some
rejoicing and others looking pretty doleful.
The building has stood the storm of eighty seven
years, but it has probably served its day and now has to
give way to modern things. Many protests have been
made, even petitions signed , but the majority of the
signers were for tearing it down. (Davie Enterprise)
1 March 1922: The year 1922 will see many
changes in Mocksville from present indications. Among
the changes will be the removal from the square of the old
court house—a concrete road through the town, many
new dwelling houses, and, we hope, a few new mills or
factories. [Another article this same date mentioned the
old court house being gone.]
22 March 1922: Second-hand brick, lumber,
windows, door and blinds for sale at Court House,
Mocksville, N.C. See J.L. Holton, County Treasurer.
19 April 1922: The Presbyterian brethren have
purchased the old court house bell and placed it in the
church belfry. They paid $140 for the bell, the same price
that the county paid for it nearly one hundred years ago.
Note: Some people say the old court house had a
fire, but I could find no documentation of this. The Baity
Building and block burned in June of 1915.

LOCATIONS, SPREADSHEETS, AND MAPS
In my school book, History of Davie County Schools, on pages 239-244, I compiled a table of all the
schools I could find, and I listed the Latitude and Longitude [LL] when I could find the exact location. I have
made a new file of this school table and am adding other locations to this table. I’ve added cemeteries, churches,
historic sites, and public buildings in Davie County.
The table will be included in our Web site, http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ncdavhgs/ . There are
several uses for these LL numbers. If you are driving and want to visit one of these areas, you can enter these LL
numbers into your GPS in your car or into your smart phone’s GPS program. On your computer, you can also
open Google Maps or Google Earth and enter the LL numbers which will lead you to the actual site on the map.
Hopefully, this will be useful to us and to future generations of Davie researchers. You could make your own
map this way, perhaps describing where your grandparents lived.
The method for obtaining these numbers was through either Google Maps or Google Earth. If you are
using Google Maps, find the location, right click the mouse at that spot, click on the bottom pop-up item
“DropLatLng Marker”. Then you can read the numbers. If you are using Google Earth, put the cursor at the
exact spot, and read the LL on the bottom edge of the computer screen. Google Maps will already be on your
computer, but Google Earth is a free download. To download, search in your browser for “download Google
Earth” and you will find the site for acquiring this.
You can make an Excel spreadsheet and have five columns in this order: Latitude, Longitude, Name,
Description, Icon. You can choose which LL method you want to use, degrees/minutes/seconds or decimal
degrees. The second method, decimal degrees, is much easier to type. Under the heading “Name” you could put
a category. Under “Description” put the exact wording. Under icon, you’ll put a number which shows which
symbol is placed. This is an optional step.
To change your spreadsheet to a Google Earth map which will put all your locations on the map in one
step, go to http://www.earthpoint.us/ExcelToKml.aspx#QuickStart . This will give you directions for quickly
changing lots of data on a spreadsheet into a map with all locations marked and with descriptions.
