The Randolph County Courthouse in downtown Pocahontas was constructed in 1940 by the Works Progress Administration, a New Deal program of the Great Depression. The Art Deco-style building, which is still in use as of 2009, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996. The previously used nineteenth-century courthouse still stands approximately one block away.
