There, on the grounds of a landmark facing imminent demolition, the statewide preservation community will collectively gather to take a “Last Stand” for this important building. At 2:30 p.m., speakers will address those gathered about the numerous reasons why Ohio should not lose its first 19th century county courthouse in a generation. At 3:00 p.m., we will take a giant group photo with signs proclaiming, “This Place Matters!.”
The bids have gone out to interested contractors for quotes on demolishing the courthouse, which leads the 2008 List of Ohio’s Most Endangered Historic Sites.
