The Conway County Courthouse in Morrilton was designed by architect Frank Gibb and constructed in 1929–30. During the Great Depression, at least one-fourth of the county courthouses in Arkansas were either rebuilt or redesigned in the Art Deco style. The Conway County Courthouse is the only known example of a Classical Revival–Art Deco transitional form. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
