The Wayne County Courthouse is built of stone and is attached to a brick office building that was built 10 years prior in 1869. The courthouse features carvings of four mythological figures of Atlantis constructed of solid blocks of Berea Sandstone to support the entrance pediments. These figures are related to Atlas, the Titan who was sentenced by the gods to support the heavens. The courthouse was necessary after the Wooster City Council condemned the original 1833 courthouse for being “unsafe, dangerous, and unfit for its purpose.”
