VINTAGE OLD ANN ARBOR photo picture poster print for sale of THE OLD ANN ARBOR COURTHOUSE ca. 1910 on Huron St. in downtown Ann Arbor, MI. After the citizens of Ann Arbor realized, well after the Civil War, that the current Courthouse was too small for the County Seat, in 1877 they constructed the one shown here. It was a grande structure three stories tall and built of red brick with Limestone. It was topped with a seven-story clock tower. There were smaller towers at each corner and a statue of Justice above each of the four entrances. In 1955 the citizens voted to construct a new Courhouse. They built on three sides of this structure, and when the new structure was finished this one was demolished and the land it stood on used for parking. This is a fine portrait of a historic structure from an earlier era of Ann Arbor's rich history.

The quality of the Jan Kaulins' photographic prints is much higher than we can show within limits of this web site. Slight tonal changes and blurring around the areas of strong contrast are a result of the JPEG compression process, and are not part of the high quality originals.
