TableScape Tuesday! Throw back to Maddie and Andrew’s wedding in March. They couldn’t get married in Italy due to the pandemic so they brought the old world charm to the Fort Wayne.

Some of the prettiest art glass in the courthouse was located on the ceiling of the original Law Library—a two story room that is now used to store artifacts.

The rotunda murals are among Allen County Courthouse’s many fine works of art. Charles Holloway was commissioned to paint the murals, following his exhibit in the Columbian Exposition World’s Fair in Chicago Illinois in 1893. The murals depict the role of government in our daily lives. Restored in 1995-2002, Smithsonian’s Richard Murray noted that the murals were leading examples of Progressive Era public art of high political and cultural significance.

The breathtaking Superior Court Room 1 features rich scagliola walls, a stained glass dome ceiling, and the original courtroom furnishings carved of mahogany wood.

The Circuit Courtroom is adorned with beautiful scagliola walls; quarter-sawn oak judge’s bench and council tables; and most notably murals by Mr. Carl Gutherz, a famous artist who did most of the mural decoration in the Library of Congress.

This is one of several grand staircases made of Carrara marble leading from the first floor to the second floor. Is it any surprise it's often used for wedding ceremonies or a back drop for a bridal portrait?

Hey there, history fans! Our team is incredibly proud of the Allen County Courthouse and excited to share its historical significance and beauty with you through our refreshed social channels. Let’s get started with this magnificent stained-glass dome that sits 110 feet in the air. Each window panel is 10 feet in height and weighs approximately 200 pounds. It is naturally back-lit by the sun that shines through the glass block windows in the tower of the upper courthouse. Stunning!
