"During the last quarter of the nineteenth century, architects designed new courthouses all over Indiana, and a flurry of construction began. About 60 of Indiana's 92 courthouses were built in the nineteenth century, but the desire to construct capitols of grace and grandeur didn't die then: the years between 1900 and 1930 produced 23 more. By the 1970s, much of county government in Indiana was operating out of antiquated, crowded buildings.
A few counties simply tore down the old structures and rebuilt with a new kind of splendor in glass and steel; but most counties, while intent on building larger facilities, were determined to keep and restore the magnificence of the older courthouses." "In words and photographs this book depicts the present courthouses of Indiana's 92 county seats."--BOOK JACKET.
