Opened for business in 1877, this Second Empire/eclectic structure was designed by T.B. Townsend & H.E. Myer.
Pittsburgh native Townsend was also a farmer, owner of a 2500-acre farm! This apparently not being enough, Townsend began working as a mason, contractor, and builder as well as, eventually, the owner of what at least claimed to be Ohio's largest brick factory. Townsend also worked on the courthouses of Wood County, Guernsey County, Tuscarawas County, and Miami County. I rather think there needs to be a documentary about this man, because that is an intriguing set of interests.
Cleveland architect Myer is also responsible for building the Columbiana County Courthouse (1871) in Lisbon; a handsome building indeed. Other than that, I'm not sure which H.E. Myer, architect, I'm looking for—one such man is a very famed architect indeed, but it seems there are a couple of them.
The building was designed by Thomas Brown II and built 1844-48 with (mostly interior) alterations by Kinnear and Dick Peddie in 1892. It is a 2-storey (4 storey at rear) 3-bay, irregular-plan, former court house and jail in the Jacobean style. It is prominently positioned at the western head of the High Street on ground sloping down towards the river at the rear.

This courthouse in Napoleon, Ohio was built in 1880. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
On the left you can see the old sheriff's residence and jail.
The courthouse was built in 1901 in the Late Victorian Style. It was constructed of brick from a local kiln, stone from Valentine Ridge near the Snake River and roofed with shakes from the nearby Blue Mountains. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and underwent extensive restoration in 2011.

I wonder why I landed first at the Courthouse the Town and it's Habitantes sure have a history of being a bit of a volatile place and bunch
Local writer Ronald Hugh Morrieson presented a dark, seamy version of mid-20th-century Hāwera in his novels. Many locals found his descriptions offensive. An attempt by fans to save his house from demolition in 1992 failed, partly because of this. It is now the site of a KFC restaurant.

Kings County Courthouse in Georgetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Built in 1887 by noted architect William Critchlow Harris.
The city’s first courthouse in the block bounded by N. 4th, Chestnut, N. Broadway and Market streets was completed in 1828 and has undergone several demolitions and reconstructions. It was the city’s tallest building from 1864 to 1894. Henry Singleton and Robert S. Mitchell were the architects for the 1839 and 1851 renovations, respectively. William Rumbold was the architect for the dome construction, completed in 1862 Ironically, slave auctions were held on the Courthouse steps, mostly to settle probate claims, while others took their slaves here to obtain their legal freedom.
The Old Courthouse is famous for the site of cases involving Dred and Harriet Scott’s bids for freedom, beginning in 1846. After rulings that the Scotts should be free, the case moved to the federal court and eventually the U.S. Supreme Court, at which the decision affirmed lower court decisions reversing the verdict of freedom for the Scotts in 1857.

The Gosper County Courthouse, at 507 Smith Ave. in Elwood, Nebraska, was built in 1939. It was designed by architects McClure & Walker with Art Deco style.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It was deemed historically significant for its architecture and for its association with politics and local government; it was one of seven Nebraska courthouses built by New Deal programs.
sunset colors of magical Sedona, Arizona hitting the face of the many red rock formations around the area....this one is called Courthouse Butte which sits right beside Bell Rock....this is a single jpeg file pseudo HDR processed image shot with a D90 using an 18-105 kit lens with a circular polarizer filter for greener greens and bluer blues....pls. View On Black
I first heard about Sedona over a quarter of a century ago when my great aunt and uncle celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary there, but my family was unable to attend the festivities because my lovely wife was just days away from giving birth to our youngest child.
Flash forward 27 years later, and we decided to finally see the town in person -- via a quick, last minute out-of-the-way stop on our drive back home to Los Angeles after a week of visiting family in Albuquerque. In fact, this weekend we also found out after being together over 30 years, that my wife has distant family ties (through marriage) to the town.
It seems Sedona was named for the great-grandmother of one of my wife's aunts, one Sedona Schnebly who hailed originally from the Show Me State of Missouri and was also the burg's first postmistress..
There's even a statue of her in front of the town's library -- but we never saw that.
Thank you for that historical interlude, Cliff Clavin -- and now back to our story.
Thanks to a controlled burn along 1-17 just south of Flagstaff, and the southbound road being shut down to one lane, we almost didn't get there for a sunset at all. But thanks to a fortuitous tip from a friendly and knowledgeable gas station attendant, and a photocopy of the Google map she must give out to idiots like me all day, we took the longer but faster route -- 1-17 south to highway 179, which brought us in the back way through the Village of Oak Creek.
Luckily one of the first scenic view turnoffs we found happened to have amazing views of Bell Rock and Courthouse Butte. The sunset was amazing and seemed to go on forever --- I love the last bit of light reflecting off the butte here. And I thought it was over, only to put away the tripod and have the sky blow up even more, as evidenced in the image below.
The only downside was the millions of mosquitoes and the horrible stench coming from the public restrooms, but that was a small price to pay for the light show put on by Mother Nature.
I hope one day to return and stay longer -- just not in the summer. It's hot -- not Phoenix hot, but hot enough. And then there's those pesky mosquitoes.

McLennan County Courthouse, Waco Texas, located on the Edwards Plateau in Central Texas, was created by the Texas Legislature in 1850 out of Milam County. The county seat, Waco, had been founded originally as an outpost of the Texas Rangers, laid out by George B. Erath, and was known by 1850 as "Waco Village." According to local lore, the first sustained flight did not occur in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, but just outside Tokio (a small community in McLennan County) by a man flying a gyrocopter. During World War I, McLennan County was home to at least one military airfield, Rich Field. In 1886, Baylor University relocated from Independence, Texas, to Waco absorbing Waco University. During the early 20th century, McLennan County was home to as many as five colleges; in addition to Baylor, the other colleges included the predecessor to what is now known as Texas Christian University (now in Fort Worth), Paul Quinn College (relocated since to Dallas), and two other short-lived colleges. In the 1960s, the Texas Legislature created the first community college to use those words in the name, McLennan Community College. Around the same time, what is now the flagship institution of Texas State Technical College was founded as James Connally Technical Institute, as a member of the Texas A&M University System. Today, Baylor, McLennan Community College, and Texas State Technical College remain in McLennan County and absorb a large portion of the college-bound high school graduates from the County and the surrounding areas.
The courthouse was built in 1877 and reportedly had an ornate walnut staircase which is way long gone. Check mathteacher's photostream for a view of the inside as it is now. Frio was considered a "cowboy capital" and outpost cultural center during the 1870's. After the town picked up all the buildings but the courthouse and the jail and moved to Pearsall where the railroad was, this courthouse was purchased by W. Yancey Kilgore and it subsequently housed a general store, the post office and in 1884 Frio Acadmey. What a shame indeed to see this fall into decay. 4 photos in this series
Built in 1932, this neoclassical Revival building houses city and county offices an courtrooms.. In Short
It's best known for its Christmas lights, which decorate the building every winter. The tradition began in 1935 and has continued annually. The holiday lighting ceremony has become a large annual gathering. Keep an eye out for the tower chimes, which ring every 15 minutes, and the interior finish, which includes many lavish features. Colorado marble was used for counters in many of the public offices and restrooms.

A blue hour shot of the DeKalb County Courthouse in Sycamore, Illinois.
The above memorial, which was erected in 1896, is inscribed:
DeKalb County. To the memory of the men who fought to preserve the Union. "That the Nation shall under God, have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the Earth".
The DeKalb County Courthouse is located in the county seat of DeKalb County, Illinois, U.S.A., the city of Sycamore. The Classical Revival structure sits on a square facing Illinois Route 64 as it passes through the city. The current courthouse was constructed in 1905 amid controversy over where the courthouse and thus, ultimately, the county seat would be located. The current building is the third structure to bear the name "DeKalb County Courthouse." DeKalb County's Courthouse still serves as the county's primary judicial center and is a contributing property to the Sycamore Historic District. The district joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The architect was Herbert T. Hazelton (Watson & Hazelton).

A distant rock formation taken from Courthouse Tower in Arches National Park, Moab Utah. The park has over 2,000 natural stone arches, in addition to hundreds of soaring pinnacles, massive fins and giant balanced rocks. This red rocks will amaze you with their formations, refresh you with the trails, and inspire you with sunsets.
My eighth and largest CC-Standard build yet, based on the great American courthouses found throughout the country. Inspired by Gringotts Bank from 10217 Diagon Alley.
