Allen County Courthouse
Allen County Courthouse, County courthouse in Lima, United States.
The sandstone building features a mansard roof, arched windows, and a tower with a four-faced clock at the intersection of North Main Street.
Built in 1881 under architect George H. Maetzel's design, this Second Empire structure replaced two earlier courthouses that served Allen County since 1820.
The courthouse represents late 19th-century governmental architecture through its formal design elements, including rectangular panels and smooth stone foundation.
The building maintains its role as a judicial center, connected to a modern Justice Center by an overhead walkway for enhanced functionality.
The southern pavilion includes twin mansard-roofed towers flanking the main entrance, where a statue of Justice previously stood above the pediment.
