1 The Wayne County Court of Common Pleas, located in Wooster, Ohio, holds a rich history dating back to its establishment in the 19th century. The original courthouse, constructed in 1878, was a magnificent example of Second Empire architecture, reflecting the prevailing style of the time. This stunning building boasted a grand entrance with tall Corinthian columns and a prominent clock tower that rose above the town. It served as the centerpiece of the community, symbolizing justice and the rule of law.
Over the years, the Wayne County Court of Common Pleas underwent several renovations and expansions to accommodate the growing needs of the legal system. In the early 20th century, a significant addition was made to the courthouse, blending the original Second Empire design with elements of Beaux-Arts architecture. The result was a harmonious fusion of styles that added to the courthouse's grandeur and elegance.
