Description: Harrison County Courthouse is located in Cadiz, Ohio. Cadiz was established in 1803. Construction for the courthouse began in 1893. Joseph W. Yost designed this and several other Ohio county courthouses. This courthouse represents a variety of architectural styles, such as Greek Revival, Second Empire, Italianate, Romanesque Revial and Beaux-Arts Classicism. Although the courthouse was finished in 1895, the county could not take possession of it right away due to a lien on the property. Rachel E. and William Greer owned a brickyard nearby and provided the bricks for the courthouse but were not paid for them. The matter was settled within a month, the lien released and the county was able to claim its new building. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: Caption reads: "Project W.P. #5748. Clermont County Courthouse, Batavia, Ohio. Common Pleas Court Room. Photo by Federal Writers' Photographer. Jan. 14, 1937." This photograph is an interior view of an empty courtroom at the Clermont County Courthouse. The current courthouse is located at 270 Main Street in Batavia, Ohio and was completed in 1936, having been designed by the architectural firm of Hunt & Allan in the Neoclassical style for $100,000. The building has a rectangular footprint and is two stories high. The facade of the building is lined with red brick and limestone trimwork. The building's main entrance is accessed by a flight of stairs and is framed by four large Tuscan piers supporting an entablature above. A window is located to each side of the central door with a window directly in line on the second floor. The wings to either side of the entrance projection contains three windows on each floor. The flat roof is hidden behind a solid balustrade. An addition was finished in 1998 and is located to the rear of the old courthouse. The design was approved by the commissioners and was submitted by Steinkamp, Steinkamp & Hampton. The building was designed in Greek Revival style and contains a central pediment supported by Tuscan columns with brick bases. The pediment contains an elliptical window. A drum rises from the roofline and is topped by a clock tower capped by a dome. It was constructed under the Works Progress Administration of the 1930s and unfortunately an elaborate courthouse was not feasible due to the Great Depression. View on Ohio Memory.
