Old Marion County Courthouse
| Description: |
The old Marion County Courthouse, built in 1876, was located at 200 East Washington Street in Indianapolis, Indiana. The building was designed by Isaac Hodgson and featured an elaborate Baroque architectural style. In addition to serving as a courthouse, the building also held the city government offices until the City Hall was built in 1910. In 1962, the courthouse was moved into the new City-County Building and the old Marion County Courthouse was demolished to make room for a plaza. A tent from the Epworth League, a Methodist association for young adults, can be seen in the background of the photograph. The reverse of this photograph shows a scend of downtown Indianapolis with the Soldiers and Sailors Monument in the distance. |
