Gallia County Courthouse

The Gallia County Courthouse is located at 18 Locust Street in Gallipolis, Ohio, United States.

When these unfortunate victims thought all was lost, President Washington intervened and arranged for them to settle lands of the Ohio Company south of Marietta.

The settlers petitioned successfully the Ohio General Assembly to grant them the status of being a county and construction of a courthouse began in 1806.

This courthouse was placed on a sandstone foundation that ended two feet above ground, where the red brick structure began.

The courthouse was repaired again, but in a repeat of history, it caught fire again and was rebuilt to a fine example of the Italianate style.
