| Description: |
The assignment by the Lake County Commissioners was to be sympathetic
to the original beauty and design integrity of the Courthouse designed by notable
Western Reserve architect, J. Milton Dyer in 1907. Built in the Italianate style
with Berea sandstone and red brick, the building use needed to be reviewed
and documented, then updated to meet current court standards, HVAC and electrical
improvements and accessibility requirements. The rear addition accommodated
court suite expansions, new public restrooms on every floor, and secure transfer
of inmates to and from courtrooms.
