The book "County Courthouses of Pennsylvania" says it was built in 1854, and the tower is a replica of the original, that was destroyed by fire.
I've photographed the courthouse before. This is the first time it's been a header.
One of my strangest moments as a broadcaster occurred here. I don't even remember what I was covering, but at the close of the hearing, a judge's secretary approached me and said "The judge would like to see you." I was thinking "Mother of the Church, I wonder what I did wrong." I tried to mentally prepare a list of people who would bail me out, an extremely short list. I respectfully walked up to the bench after the courtroom cleared. All the judge wanted to say was he enjoyed our weekend morning broadcasts.
Whew!
