The 1897 Lucas County Courthouse, designed by David L. Stine, in Toledo, Ohio

Title, date and keywords based on information provided by the photographer.
The commission awarded to Stine, who had planned several of the booming industrial city's fine mansions, was so controversial, and the scrutiny so heated since no design contest was held, that Stine left Toledo for a time.
