The brick courthouse in
Calvert was begun in 1875, but
the county seat was moved to Franklin in 1879 before
the building was finished. It
was initially converted into a hotel. But, in 1885 it was sold to the Robert A. Brown family who used it as a private residence until 1909 when it was sold to Fannie L. Hammond. The Hammond family continued to use the building as a private residence until 1966 when it was turned into a
county museum. In 1995 the building was sold back to the Hammond family
who operated it as a Bed & Breakfast for several years.
Current ownership is not clear.
