Description
This
is
a
photograph
of the
base
of the
tower
in the
Jefferson
County
Courthouse
.
It
is
located
at
301
Market
Street
in
Steubenville
,
Ohio
.
Construction
on the
building
was
started
in
1871
and
completed
in
1874
. The
architects
were
Heard
and
Blythe
. The
building
was
originally
six
stories
high
. The
windows
are
high
arched
with
hood-moulds
and
keystones
,
sectional
Corinthian
columns
and a
set
of
staircases
at
each
entrance
.
Above
the
entrances
are
Corinthian
columns
supporting
a
pediment
. On the
peak
of the
pediment
above
the
main
entrance
is
the
statue
of
Justice
. In
1950
the
roof
collapsed
due
to a
ferocious
snow
storm
. The
top
floor
collapsed
,
destroying
the
ornate
roof
and
tower
.
Instead
of
replacing
the
original
mansard
roof
, the
county
officials
decided
to have a
flat
roof
on a
five
story
building
. The
courthouse
stands
diagonal
to the
site
of
Fort
Steuben
which
protected
surveyors
from the
Indians
in the
18th
century
. They were
surveying
for the
Northwest
Territory
.
