Greensburg, the seat of Westmoreland County in western Pennsylvania, is the place this view records, and its courthouse served as the civic center of a community tied to the region's coal, steel, and rail economy. The picture is dated to about 1907, a period when county courthouses across the country were often rebuilt in stone and classical styles to suggest the permanence of local government. The record comes from an old caption card, so its details are not fully verified, but the image still shows how a working county seat presented itself in the early twentieth century.
