The Susquehanna County Courthouse Complex, also known as Susquehanna County Courthouse & Jail, is a historic courthouse complex located at Montrose, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. The complex consists of four contributing buildings, one contributing site (the Town Green), and four contributing objects (an 1887 American Civil War memorial, a 1915 monument to Galusha A. Grow (1822-1903), an early surveyor's marker (this is actually a fountain built in the 1980's. It has absolutly no historical signifigance, it just didn't work as a fountain), and a 1930s Veterans' memorial).〔 The complex is located on a four-acre plot that was donated to Montrose for public use in 1853.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.susqcohistsoc.org/townships/bridgewater.htm )〕 The original section of the courthouse was built in 1854-1855, and is a three bay by seven bay, two-story brick structure in the Greek Revival style. It features a pedimented portico with fluted Ionic order columns and five bay arcade at the first level. It has a shallow gable roof topped by an octagonal cupola. The building has been expanded five times; in 1883, 1902, 1950, 1954, and 1982. The original jail was built in 1853, with a brick addition made in 1973. It is a two-story, rectangular stone structure now known as the Susquehanna County Courthouse Annex. Appended to the Annex is a two-story brick building built in 1925, and originally a part of a now demolished school. The Jail of 1867-1868 is a three-story, stone building measuring 48 feet by 64 feet, and topped by a distinctive cupola. It has a red brick extension with stone trim and flat-topped and rounded windows.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 National Historic Landmarks & National Register of Historic Places in Pennsylvania ) ''Note:'' This includes 〕 It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.〔 ==Gallery== File:Jail of 1867-1868 Susquehanna County Courthouse Complex Montrose PA Aug 09.jpg|Jail of 1867-1868, August 2009 File:Civil War memorial Susquehanna County Courthouse Complex Montrose PA Aug 09.jpg|Civil War memorial, August 2009 File:Monument to Galusha A.
