Ever wanted to sit and watch a slideshow with pics of every Ohio county courthouse? David Dill has taken and compiled tons of great pics. Take a look and see some pretty incredible buildings.
Edit: The editor foolishly misunderstood, EVERY Ohio county courthouse is included in this compilation.

It is obvious a lot of time and effort and skill was put into these photos. Very good work. The only negative comment is the music got on my nerves after a couple of minutes. Might a suggest changing the music to something patriotic?
ReplyDeleteokay, I finally got thru all 185 pictures. First off, love the new music. Also, what an arguement for new contruction vs. maintaining old structures. The difference is night and day. The old buildings have such beauty and craftsmanship, there is just no comparison. Can you imagine being granted permission to climb some of those clock towers? Incredible. Mr. Dil, you should make a calender available of these pictures.
ReplyDeletethere are some interesting stories to some of the older courthouses, Butler Co. in Hamilton the old dome burned and several firemen were killed so they had to add a new dome.
ReplyDeleteSeneca Co. in Tiffin, they shortened the dome in the 1940's but ran out of money and couldn't add the statue, the building is not being used at this time except for the first floor for storage, there is a possibilty it could fall victim to the wrecking ball in the near future.
Most of the older courthouses have some stories about them. Calender? I think that has been done but I am not sure.
