Fire gutted the Franklin County Courthouse in Ozark. The roof and second story were destroyed; however, the shell of the first floor remained. The Franklin County Courthouse for the Northern District, located at 211 West Commercial in Ozark (Franklin County), was constructed as a two-story structure fashioned in Classical Moderne style with Italian Renaissance design influences. This building is the fourth courthouse in this county seat.
