Robertson County Courthouse - Springfield, TN
The Robertson County Courthouse in Springfield, Tennessee dates from 1879.  The building's north and south wings and central clock tower were added in 1929–30.  The architects for the expansion were Edward E. Dougherty and Thomas W. Gardner of Nashville.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

The land which is now within the boundaries of Robertson and Montgomery counties was first known as the Tennessee County of North Carolina.  In 1796, the state’s first general assembly met in Knoxville to organize a new state government, and the name Tennessee was officially adopted for the developing state.  An act passed by that assembly provided for the division of Tennessee County into two counties.  The eastern half was named Robertson in honor of James Robertson, Father of Middle Tennessee and Founder of Nashville.
