The building was constructed in 1935 to replace the county's 1838 courthouse, which burned in 1934.[2][3] The courthouse is built in the Colonial Revival style. The architect was George Waller of Nashville.[4]
The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 14, 1992.[1] In 2010, the city of Woodbury and Cannon County completed a project to revitalize the surrounding courthouse square with new sidewalks, underground utility lines, new landscaping, and other improvements. The project was supported by a transportation enhancement grant awarded by the Tennessee Department of Transportation.[5][6][7]
