Description:
|
Athens County courthouse, built from 1878-1880 by architect H.E. Myers, is the third building to occupy this site on Court Street. The buildings lining Court Street are renowned for their historic charm with most dating from 1880-1910; as a result the steep entrance to the courthouse is located in the heart of Athens, Ohio, home to Ohio University. The interior was remodeled in the 1930s with funding from the Works Progress Administration. and in 1992, it was connected to the adjacent Cline building, forming the Athens County Administration Building complex.
