Long Description:Cameron County Courthouse was built in 1890 in Emporium,
Pennsylvania. According to
Cameron
County history documents:
The question of remodeling and rebuilding the court house was
brought before the commissioners May 6, 1889. The proposed
improvements call for the moving back of the present building forty
feet, and the erection of a brick and stone addition with clock
tower in front.
In order to secure the county seat for Emporium, it was
necessary to raise sufficient money to erect the court-house.
Five-thousand dollars were subscribed by the few people then
residing here, and $5,000 contributed by the Philadelphia and Erie
Land Company, the edifice costing the tax-payers of the county
nothing. The generosity of the early settlers of Emporium for the
benefit of the town was commendable, and the citizens of to-day are
nobly following the example of the pioneers who have nearly all
gone to receive the reward of their well-doing.
