| Boonville is the seat of Warrick County. |

Warrick Co. Court House
Court House Square, Boonville, Indiana
A handsome example of the Georgian architectural style, hallmarks
of which are strict symmetry and geometrical proportions. Other
characteristics of the Georgian style are:
- axial entrances (situated around or along an axis)
- hipped roofs (the external angle formed by the meeting of
two sloping sides of a roof that have their wall plates running
in different directions)
- sash windows (the framework in which panes of glass are set
in a window or door; not visible in this example because the
windows have been replaced)

124 E. Main St., Boonville, Indiana
This building shows elements of both the Italianate
and Federal styles. Italianate buildings are marked by low roofs,
overhanging eaves, round-headed windows and balustraded balconies.
