Marquette County Courthouse
The Marquette County Courthouse is a government building located at 400 South 3rd Street in Marquette, Michigan. It designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1976〔 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.〔 The courthouse was the setting of the 1959 film ''Anatomy of a Murder'', directed by Otto Preminger.
==History==
In 1857, the first Marquette County courthouse, a wooden Greek Revival structure, was built on this site. By the turn of the century, that structure had becom inadequate. In 1902, voters approved the issuance of $120,000 worth of bonds to construct a new courthouse. The earlier structure was moved off the site, and the county hired Marquette architect D. Fred Charlton (Charlton, Gilbert & Demar/Charlton & Kuenzli) to design the building. Northern Construction Company of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was hired to construct the building. The county eventually spent $240,000 to complete the structure; it was completed in 1904.〔
The courthouse was the site of a famous 1913 libel case, where President Theodore Roosevelt won a judgment against Ishpeming newspaper publisher George Newett. Roosevelt was awarded six cents, "the price of a good newspaper." Another later case tried here inspired John D. Voelker's novel, ''Anatomy of a Murder''. The 1959 movie version of the novel, directed by Otto Preminger, was filmed in the courthouse.〔
In 1982–84, the courthouse was renovated at a cost of $2.4 million.〔 A new courthouse and jail was built nearby, connected by a tunnel, but the 1904 building remains in use.〔
