"During the last quarter of the nineteenth century, architects designed new courthouses all over Indiana, and a flurry of construction began. About 60 of Indiana's 92 courthouses were built in the nineteenth century, but the desire to construct capitols of grace and grandeur didn't die then: the years between 1900 and 1930 produced 23 more. By the 1970s, much of county government in Indiana was operating out of antiquated, crowded buildings. A few counties simply tore down the old structures and rebuilt with a new kind of splendor in glass and steel; but most counties, while intent on building larger facilities, were determined to keep and restore the magnificence of the older courthouses."--BOOK JACKET. "In words and photographs this book depicts the present courthouses of Indiana's 92 county seats."--BOOK JACKET.
