chippewa county courthouse, sault ste. marie, michigan
Winter in the Upper Peninsula.
The Chippewa County Courthouse was built in 1877 of cut stone with walls two feet thick (60 cm); it is Michigan's oldest continuing courthouse. It was designed in the Second Empire Style by Detroit architect William Scott; additions in 1904 and 1930 were built in the same style. The courthouse exterior features a pediment, a mansard roof with clock tower, and contrasting red-colored cut stone in beltcourses, quoins, lintels, and entrances; the interior features tin ceilings and decorative ornate metalwork.
In 1984, the courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP): the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects deemed worthy of preservation.
