Old Indiana County Courthouse
Old Indiana County Courthouse, County courthouse in Indiana, Pennsylvania.
The red brick Second Empire style courthouse features a gold leaf cupola clocktower with four faces measuring 7 feet in diameter.
Construction of the courthouse began in 1869 under architect James W. Drum, with a final cost of 150,000 dollars and dedication in December 1870.
The courthouse appeared on Life magazine's cover in 1945 with Indiana native Jimmy Stewart, and hosted John F. Kennedy's campaign speech in 1960.
The building now functions as administrative offices for First Commonwealth Financial, with the bell tower supported by scaffolding in the main courtroom.
Between 1882 and 1913, the courthouse complex included a jail connected by a bridge for prisoner transport, with six executions occurring in the jailyard.
