Snyder County Courthouse

 courthouse, historical building

The Courthouse (1915). The original courthouse was built in 1855 and enlarged in 1867. The look of the 1867 courthouse is preserved in this circa 1875 view. This courthouse was rebuilt in 1915 retaining the Classical Revival style, and in 1977 a large annex was built into the side and back. Parts of the 1855 and 1867 buildings remain underneath and to the rear of the bell tower, but are so built into by these later additions that a later dating should be used, say 1915 when the present front of the building went up.

The courthouse is also tied into a commercial building (to the left in the photo) by an enclosed hallway next to the sidewalk. Apparently portions of this building were used as an annex at one time. The 1977 annex is back from the street behind a small yard and contains the present entrance.
