New Courthouse, 1841
By 1840, the original courthouse was too small and outdated, not to mention that it was also considered structurally unstable. The community decided to build a new courthouse on the northeast corner of the square. A Classic Federal box style courthouse was built with a temple front. It was constructed of brick and accented with sandstone sills which can still be seen today. Construction of the new courthouse began in 1840 and was completed in 1841. This new courthouse would go on to serve the county of Medina for 36 years. | Date: 1841 | Source: Medina County Historical Society
