COUNTY COURTHOUSE CLIPS Indiana has some of the most beautiful courthouses in Indiana---92 of them.
Did you know that the Carroll County Courthouse is the third building in
Delphi, Indiana to hold that title? The current building was completed in
14
1916, at 101 W. Main Street. Carroll County itself was named for Charles
Carroll, the last surviving signer of the Declaration of Independence. Look up
inside the structure
and a stained glass
dome fills your
view. Look down
and you are
standing on a
mosaic tile floor.
Beautiful marble
steps complete the
beauty that is the
Carroll County
Courthouse. The
building was
designed by Elmer
Dunlap, and built
by A.E. Kemmer. It has the honor of being listed on the National Registry of
Historic Places. Outside you will spot a Civil War monument which was
erected in 1882. The courthouse is located about 10 miles northeast of Buck
Creek, about two miles closer than the Tippecanoe County Courthouse!
