Clinton County Courthouse (Lock Haven, Pennsylvania)

 courthouse, historical building

The Courthouse (1869). The county was created in 1839 and the first courthouse is prominent in this circa 1840 view. The greatly elongated arched windows marching completely around the structure are the most striking feature of the present Romanesque Revival courthouse.

The towers are the same basic design but one is higher with a clock midsection. This seems like a last minute addition, however the Venango County courthouse has the same arrangement by the same architects. The rear section was added in 1936 and gives the building a "T" shape. It matches the original building very well, and today the whole structure is painted to give it an integrated appearance. The rock in the photo is a memorial.
