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.
