Clarion County Courthouse

USA / Pennsylvania / Clarion / Main St, 421
 courthouse, historical building

The Courthouse (1884). The first courthouse was built in 1843 at the present site. It burned down and the second building, shown in this view from the county atlas, put up. It also burned down and was replaced in 1884 by the present brick structure with the huge tower, over 200 feet high, dominating the downtown.

The architectural style of this building has been called Queen Anne, a term used to define an asymmetric decorative style with long windows and steeply pitched irregular and intersecting roofs. Although, given the huge square tower and narrow windows, Romanesque Revival would fit as well. Entrance is through the front under "Lady Justice" with her scales atop the tower. Just behind the courthouse is a quaint, old jail built in 1874 and directly across the street is the park.
