Greene County Courthouse

Greene County Courthouse is a stone courthouse in Xenia with tall windows and a prominent central tower that stands out in the downtown area. The building contains courtrooms and offices where civil cases, criminal proceedings, and legal business for the county are conducted.

The building was designed in 1902 by Samuel Hannaford, a prominent architect who created numerous public buildings throughout Ohio. Its construction reflects early 20th-century building practices and architectural traditions of that era.

The courthouse serves as the heart of legal proceedings for Greene County residents, where civil and criminal matters affecting the community are heard and resolved. It represents how local justice operates and touches the lives of people across the region.

The courthouse is located in downtown Xenia and is accessible during regular weekday business hours when you can walk around the building. The stone exterior and tower make it easy to spot from nearby streets in the civic center area.

Beyond its traditional courtrooms, the building houses a mediation program that helps resolve local disputes through dialogue rather than formal legal proceedings. This alternative resolution service allows Greene County residents to settle disagreements more directly and informally.
