Crawford County Courthouse (Meadville, Pennsylvania)

 courthouse  Add category

The Courthouse (1952). The old courthouse stood on the site of the present one. The previous courthouse , was finished in 1869. It was unfortunately totally rebuilt in 1952 with the present Neoclassic look. If preserved, it would have been one of the earliest public buildings of Second Empire style architecture, and hence more noteworthy than the present structure.

According to one of the reliefs adjacent to the entrance doors, the rebuilding incorporated the previous courthouse. The present building is certainly acceptable, built in red brick and stone with a large entrance portico between projecting wings, and a clock tower above.
