Lawrence County is named for James Lawrence, who was a naval hero during the War of 1812. The…read morecounty was created in 1816 from partss of Gallia and Sioto counties. The county seat was moved from Burlington to Ironton in 1851. After the previous county courthouse was lost to fire, this one was completed in 1908 and blends Greek Revival and Beaux-Arts styles. It was designed by the Columbus-based firm Richards, McCarty & Bulford. It is a three-story structure made of brown cut stone and concrete, standing on a hill overlooking downtown Ironton and the Ohio River. The large central dome with a copper roof acts as a crown over the building. Inside, the courthouse features stone floors and walls, high wooden doors with glass panels, and sweeping staircases with iron railings. The grounds of the courthouse include a Vietnam Veterans Memorial, a replica of the Statue of Liberty and a memorial commemorating Ironton's annual Memorial Day Parade, recognized as the oldest continuing Memorial Day observance in the U.S., dating back to 1868.

I recently called the probate office at Ironton courthouse, and I told the lady The question I had…read moreand she said one moment please, she then connected me to another person in the probate office and I ask her the question and she did not know therefore she had asked someone else, they were not friendly whatsoever in fact When we were hanging up I heard the girl tell someone else what I had said, in other words they were making fun of me because of what I said. And I heard them, I don't think this was very appropriate of people working and our government offices. And specially being made fun of. And if this girl actually worked in this office then she should have no one the answer without lying the phone down and going and asking someone else. If you're going to make fun of people you should at least make sure you hang up the phone first. I am very upset what's this. If anyone out there knows who I could contact personally of this happening please let me know.

On a bright Friday afternoon, the Jackson County Courthouse in Ohio really does project a certain…read morejudicial presence. The building was completed in 1868 in a Greek Revival design by architect R.C. Saunders, using red brick and concrete. The most striking feature is the large south-facing portico, framed by square brick pillars at the corners and two central columns rising to a flat roof. Behind that, the structure steps upward to a peak topped with a square cupola and clock, giving the courthouse a balanced but authoritative profile. Jackson County itself was formed in 1816 and named for Andrew Jackson, the War of 1812 figure who later became the President of the United States. Walking around the courthouse in the bright sun, the brick columns and portico amplify that sense of civic weight and even with later mid-20th-century repairs after a fire, the building still reads as a classic small-town expression of judicial power.

They have several po boxes for rent and a decent size shipping section. On my last visit, I needed to mail a Christmas gift to a friend. I found a small prepaid envelope for purchase.
