Livingston County Courthouse (Illinois)
The Livingston County Courthouse is an historic building and a longtime judicial center for Livingston County, Illinois, United States. It is located in the county seat of Pontiac.
==History==
The current Livingston County Courthouse is the third building to carry that name. Construction on the present-day courthouse began in late 1874 and was completed late the next year. The courthouse was built after fire consumed the second Livingston County Courthouse on July 4, 1874. The plan for the courthouse was selected from a slate of ten candidate plans.〔 The County Board of Supervisors noted at the time that the selected plan "cost more money (but) it was the only one which for size, fire-proof qualities, and solidity would answer the purpose, and was indeed, in the matter of taste and elegance, much in advance of any other."〔 However, the author of the 1915 ''The County Archives of the State of Illinois'' called the building "hardly fireproof".〔Pease, Theodore Calvin. ''The County Archives of the State of Illinois'', ((Google Books link )), Collections of the Illinois State Historical Library, Vol. XII, 1915, p. 383.〕 The courthouse clock tower was installed in 1892.〔 It served as the county's primary judicial center until late 2011, when a replacement Law and Justice Center opened across the street, but officials announced plans to preserve the older building.〔Hoffman, Steve.
