Old DuPage County Courthouse
Old DuPage County Courthouse, County courthouse in Wheaton, United States.
The massive brick structure features round-topped windows, stone embellishments, and a central tower with multiple turrets reaching toward the Illinois sky.
Constructed in 1896 by architect Mifflin E. Bell, the courthouse functioned as DuPage County's governmental center until its replacement in 1990.
The courthouse hosted numerous trials, including a 1924 case where attorney Clarence Darrow defended George Munding in a regionally significant proceeding.
The building underwent conversion into residential condominiums in the mid-2000s, adapting its historical spaces for modern living purposes.
A lightning strike in 1988 destroyed the original tower, leading to a complete reconstruction that maintains the building's architectural integrity.
