Jefferson County Courthouse (Ohio)

The Jefferson County Courthouse is located at 301 Market Street in Steubenville, Ohio.

The courthouse was originally designed and built with four floors, high arched windows with hood-moulds and keystones, sectional Corinthian columns, and a flight of stairs to each entrance.

The sandstone building is severely discolored due to the polluted air from the surrounding steel factories and heavy traffic.

In 1950 during a ferocious snowstorm, the top floor collapsed, destroying the ornate roof and tower.

In front of the courthouse is a statue of Stuebenville native Edwin McMasters Stanton, United States Secretary of War to President Abraham Lincoln.
