Description: Located 1000 Main St. at Central Parkway, downtown Cincinnati, the 1919 structure here visible replaced a courthouse on the same site. Isaiah Rogers proposed a domed courthouse for Cincinnati in 1851; taken over by James Keys Wilson and William Walter, it was completed in the mid-1850s, without the dome. Riots in March 1884 over a corrupt judiciary and slack sentencing ended in the deaths of 45 people; fire damaged the courthouse. Although the interior has been extensively remodeled over the years, the lobby and library have been beautifully restored. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: The Hamilton County Courthouse was constructed on the same site as the county’s two previous courthouses. It has seven separate entrances and was built using inflammable materials after an earlier building was destroyed by a fire during the riot of 1884. President William Howard Taft laid the cornerstone for the building in 1915. The structure was designed by James McLaughlin, who also designed the Cincinnati Art Museum. This image shows the main lobby. In the foreground is a statue of John Desmond, an attorney who was killed during a riot inside the former courthouse in 1884. The three day riot, which also destroyed the courthouse, had been provoked by an unpopular manslaughter decision. View on Ohio Memory.
