Description: This color image shows a front view of the Geauga County Courthouse, Chardon, Ohio. L.J. Randall, builder of the Randall Block on Main Street, was the contractor for the courthouse; Joseph Ireland (active in Cleveland 1865-1885) was the architect. Looking at the Geauga County Courthouse, note the square tower which changes to an octagon one full story above the roof line. The courthouse's cupola reaches 112 feet and contains an antique clock mechanism that was renovated in 1996 by the community and Chapter 28 of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors. The bandstand on the village public green is a reconstruction of the 1875 original. The bandstand was dedicated by the community in 1981, and the brick memorial walkway was dedicated in 1993. The courthouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 as part of the Chardon Courthouse Square District. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This image shows the front facades of the Madison County Sheriff's Office and the Madison County Courthouse. The sheriff's office served as the county jail until 2000, when the Tri-County Regional Jail was opened. The original building had two sections, one of which was the county jail and the other served as the Sheriff's residence. The jail held female, male and juvenile prisoners. In the early 1980s, the Sheriff moved out of the residence and this portion of the building became offices. The entire building now houses county offices. The jail is located on the southeast corner of the courthouse square. To the right is the Madison County Courthouse. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: This image shows the front facade of the Montgomery County Courthouse. This was built shortly after the old county courthouse, in 1884, and the two buildings were used together for almost a century. Because the county outgrew both of these courthouses, the newer building was torn down around 1974 and replaced with Courthouse Square, an urban plaza (not pictured). The newer courthouse had been harshly criticized for lacking a pure architectural style. The other building, currently the Montgomery Historical Society, was preserved due to its design and historical significance. View on Ohio Memory.
