Pages : 146
Book Description
The residents of Wayne County, Indiana, have battled about the county seat location since its formation in 1810. There have been three county seats and six courthouses. The disagreement-started between settlers from Salisbury and Centerville-was bitterly debated in the Indiana Territory legislature. Although Salisbury was the first county seat, it was moved to Centerville soon after Indiana's ratification as a state, and Salisbury faded into a lost town. For fifty-two years, Centerville maintained power, building two courthouses and a jail, until Richmond asserted its dominance in the state legislature. The struggle for the reins of power in Wayne County was Indiana's longest-running feud, igniting untold amounts of community pride. Join Wayne County historian Carolyn Lafever as she shares this story of conflict and courthouses, from tumultuous beginning to peaceful end.

Pages : 200
Book Description
""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.
