Alpena County Courthouse
The Alpena County Courthouse Alpena County's first courthouse was destroyed by a fire on December 12, 1870. Its replacement met a similar fate on December 22, 1932.〔Cole, Maurice F., ‘’Michigan’s Courthouses: Old and New’’, Library of Congress 74-27625, 1974, p. 14〕 The current courthouse built in 1934 is an historic Art deco courthouse building located at 720 Chisholm Avenue in Alpena, Michigan. It was designed by architect William H. Kuni of Detroit and built by the Henry C. Webber Construction Co. of poured Portland cement made from locally quarried limestone. According to Kuni, it was the first monolithic poured building constructed during the winter in a cold climate.〔〔(Michigan Markers listing )〕〔(Michigan State Tourist listing )〕
It was financed partly by local bonds and WPA grants.〔
The building, dubbed "Fort Alpena" by a local writer, is embellished by architectural sculpture, including an eagle perched atop the clock on the main facade and figures of ''Justice'' and ''Law'' as well as "fascia designs show(ing) images of the county's lumbering, shipbuilding, farming, fishing and recreational industries." 〔Eckert, Kathryn Bishop, ‘’Buildings of Michigan’’. Oxford Universoty Press, New York, 1993 p. 448〕
On December 8, 1983, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places.〔
