Labeled the old Montgomery County Court House, this view shows the seat of county government in Dayton, a manufacturing city on the Great Miami River. The print is dated to about 1923, but that date and the building's details come from an unverified caption card, so they should be read with some caution. In the early twentieth century, county courthouses like this one were the civic center of their towns, housing courtrooms, county offices, and the public records that tracked land, deeds, and court proceedings. Its architecture and its place on the square are worth noticing as a record of how Ohio counties presented their authority.
