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: Interior of Plum Street Temple (Isaac M. Wise Temple), Cincinnati, Ohio. This historic synagogue symbolizes the work of one of the most important figures in nineteenth-century American Jewry, Isaac Mayer Wise (1819-1900). The Bohemian-born rabbi's many achievements include the establishment of the Union of American Hebrew Congregations in 1873, Hebrew Union College in 1875, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis in 1889. Wise's leadership made Cincinnati a center for Reform Judaism in America. The Plum Street Temple, designed by Cincinnati architect James Keys Wilson and built in 1865-1866 for the B'nai Yeshurun congregation during Wise's tenure, is one of the best-preserved Moorish Revival buildings in the United States. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1975. View on Ohio Memory.

Description: The Hamilton County Courthouse, located at 1000 Main Street, and bounded by East Central Parkway, Court and Sycamore Streets, is a 6-story limestone structure with fluted columns. Completed in 1919 in an adapted Greek Ionic style, and is the fourth courthouse on this site. In the lobby on the Main Street side are memorials and markers pertaining to the terrible courthouse riot in March 1884 over a corrupt judiciary and slack sentencing, which took about 50 lives and resulted in the destruction of the building. This third courthouse building had been originally designed by Isaiah Rogers, who 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. The Office of the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts originated in 1802 when the Ohio State Constitution provided for the appointment of a clerk of courts for each county. William Henry Harrison, ninth President of the United States, was appointed Hamilton County Clerk of Courts in May, 1836 and was Clerk when he was elected president in 1840. In 1851 the Clerk of Courts became an elected position for a three-year term. Since 1936 it has been a four-year term. View on Ohio Memory.
