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 Decostyle 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.
