St. Paulus Evangelisch Lutherischen Gemeinde (also called Kornthal Church or Kornthal Union County Memorial Church) is a historic Lutheran church in Jonesboro, Illinois. The church was built by immigrants from Austria, who settled in the Jonesboro area in 1852. Architect Charles Fettinger, one of the settlers, designed the church.

The wood-frame church features a limestone foundation, upper-story windows topped by lunettes, and a double entrance topped by an arched transom. The interior features an intricately carved wooden altar and pulpit, also designed by Fettinger. Construction was completed in 1860, and the building was dedicated in 1861. The church's bell tower, which is topped by a spire, was added in 1889, and the Queen Anne style parsonage was constructed in the 1900s.

Services at the church ended in 1949, and the church became the property of the Kornthal Congregation and Historical Society. It was refurbished in 1963 with the aid of the State of Illinois. The church is one of the only remnants of southern Illinois' German-speaking population. [2]

The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. [1]

The Morgan County Courthouse, located at 300 W. State St. in Jacksonville, is the county courthouse of Morgan County, Illinois. The courthouse, the third built in Morgan County, was constructed from 1868 to 1869. Chicago architect Gurdon P. Randall designed the courthouse in a combination of the Italianate and Second Empire styles. The design is considered unusual among county courthouses, as counties generally preferred more traditional designs. Randall's design features an arched loggia surrounding the building's southern entrance, asymmetrical towers at the southern corners with mansard roofs and bracketed cornices, arched dormers within the towers' mansards, and an assortment of round-head and bulls-eye windows. One of the towers houses a 4,000 pounds (1,800 kg) bell, which was intended to be part of a clock that was never installed. A 9-foot (2.7 m) statue of Lady Justice, carved from a single block of pine, originally topped the front entrance; however, after losing its arms around 1872, the statue disappeared in the early 1900s and was never recovered.
