Most of us grew up in a small town so we all know what a small town is like.
We all have something in the town that will hold a special place in our hearts.
The Courthouse is not a place where many people just like to go. Most of the people just drive by it because it is located in what they call the “Times Square” where there is a lot of traffic. For those of you who don’t know where that is the address is 125 East High Avenue in New Philadelphia.
The Courthouse was constructed by Thomas Boyd in 1882 in the Classical Revival style. An expansion was added in 1990 to alleviate the needs of a growing population and it blends in with the older structure. It has been around for quite some time.
The Courthouse is always decorated in what holiday is going on which I think is pretty cool. It has statues around it. A big clock in the center at the top and many windows and doors as well as a long trail of stairs going into the courthouse.
Many people go to the Courthouse for various reasons. You can get marriage license, adopted, jury rooms for trials, divorce attorneys, and much more.
When I was little I went to the Courthouse. I was getting adopted by my mother's husband which was my step dad at the time. My biological dad didn’t want anything to do with me so I made a choice to go to the Courthouse to get adopted by who is now my dad. I will never regret my decision.
I went to the Courthouse about a year ago with my government class to sit on two trials.
It was very entertaining.
The Courthouse will forever hold a special place in my heart.
