Downspoutitis

A truly fine looking building but it seems the architect ignored downspouts on the preliminary plans and where only added later when the Chief Justice's wife almost drowned from a waterfall deluge from the roof during a late summer afternoon thunderstorm.

I'll Never Fully Understand

Why buildings like this get destroyed and replaced with hideous concrete and glass monstrosities. Progress, I guess.

What a treasure this building could have been today

if it had not been torn down in the 1960s. The spot where it used to sit on South High Street is now open space and an ugly concrete parking garage. Thankfully many of the showpiece Ohio county courthouses from that period still survive, including one very similar in style but a bit smaller in London, Madison County, just west of Franklin County (Columbus).
