About / Additional Info:Athens County was founded in 1804. The Athens County government was created in 1805. It is believed that business was first conducted from rooms rented in the local tavern. In 1806, rented rooms in a log building served as the courthouse. Finally, land was cleared at what later became Court and Washington Streets for a new courthouse. A two story log structure was built and served as the courthouse from 1807 to 1817. In 1817 the log building was destroyed by fire. In 1817 a two-story brick courthouse was built to replace the log building. By 1874 the courthouse was deemed to be be "beyond repair at anything like a reasonable expense." The old structure was abandoned and ultimately destroyed. It was only by a special act of the legislature and the passage of a new bond issue in 1878 that triggered the construction of the new courthouse which was dedicated in the evening hours of September 10, 1880. In August 1908, President William Howard Taft also made a stop at the courthouse steps during his Presidency. In 1912, Presidential candidate Theodore Roosevelt campaigned from the courthouse steps.The Victorian-era building has been remodeled often although the architectural character of the building has been maintained. The courthouse was extensively renovated in 2004, including replacement of windows, re-pointing of the brickwork, and restoration of the "Lady Justice" statue.Today, the Athens County Courthouse houses the Clerk of Courts, the Fourth District Court of Appeals, the Court of Common Pleas, Domestic Relations Court, Juvenile Court, Probate Court, the County Prosecuting Attorney's Office, and the Victim's Assistance Office.
