Wood County Courthouse and Jail

The Wood County Courthouse features a clock tower rising 195 feet high with clock hands spanning 16 feet in diameter on each face.

Construction began in 1893 after citizens decided to move the county seat from Perrysburg, with final costs reaching 255,746 dollars upon completion in 1896.

The third floor contains murals painted by I. M. Taylor depicting Fort Meigs on the east wall and oil derricks with passing trains on the west wall.

The courthouse maintains two common pleas courtrooms on the third floor, providing judicial services and administrative offices across multiple levels of the building.

The clock faces incorporate two layers of Roman numerals to enhance visibility during different lighting conditions throughout the day and night.
