Fulton County Courthouse (Indiana)
The Fulton County Courthouse, located in Rochester, Indiana, serves as the center of government for Fulton County. The current courthouse, completed in 1895, is a Romanesque Revival structure constructed primarily of brick and stone. It replaced two earlier courthouses, the first a log cabin and the second a brick building deemed insufficient for the county's growing needs.
The courthouse is characterized by its imposing central tower, arched windows, and decorative stone detailing. Inside, it houses the county's courtrooms, offices for various county departments, and historical records. The building is a significant landmark in Rochester and a focal point of the downtown area.
The Fulton County Courthouse is typically open to the public during regular business hours, providing access to court proceedings and government services. Security measures are in place to ensure the safety of visitors and staff.
