The current structure is the third courthouse to have been built for the county. The original courthouse, built in 1807, was a small structure made of stone. James P. Bailey, who was responsible for the construction of Old Main at Geneva College became the architect of the new courthouse after the second one was destroyed by a fire in 1883. It was built in 1885, and is a three-story, brick and sandstone building in an interpretation of the High Victorian Gothic style. It features a large central, four-faced clock tower with two double pyramid shaped roofs.
Bailey's courthouse still stands today, and is currently the tallest structure in downtown Butler.
The facility includes a Westinghouse elevator installed in the late 50s early 60s, several stained glass windows, a grand staircase connecting the first and second floors. The first and second floors are more designed to be gothic and art deco with several crown moldings, domed ceilings, marble floors and walls, and woodwork as well. The upper two floors have been made into offices and courtrooms. In the early 1990s a new government annex building was constructed beside the courthouse. The two structures are connected via skywalk. The annex building is 5 stories and consists of 2 basement levels, making a total of 7 floors. All 7 levels house offices and courtrooms.
The Butler County Courthouse is located in Hamilton, Ohio and was constructed from 1885-1889 by architect David W. Gibbs. The courthouse is a registered historic building listed in the National Register on June 22, 1981.
History
Butler County was established in 1803 from a section of Hamilton County. The county seat selected was Hamilton and the first courthouse was built 1806 and the second in 1817 on the site of the present structure. When the county realized that the courthouse was too small for the population, a new plan by D.W. Gibbs and was designed in the Second Empire style with features from the Italianate style.
County officials laid the building's cornerstone on October 29, 1885. As county funds were insufficient for construction, contracts could not be let until enabling legislation for bond issuance had been passed by the Ohio General Assembly; the necessary legislation was sponsored by George F. Elliott, the senator from Butler County. When originally built, the courthouse centered on a four-part clock tower, which was replaced by a smaller tower with a dome after the original tower collapsed in a 1912 fire. The 1912 tower remains in place, minus the dome, which fell prey to lightning in the 1920s.
The Butler County Courthouse is located at 428 Sixth Street in Allison, Iowa. It opened in 1975 and replaced a structure originally measuring 50 by 55 feet (15m ×17m) completed in 1881 when the county seat relocated from Clarksville to Allison. The 1881 courthouse was enlarged in 1903 and again in 1937.
Beginning in the 1950s, county officials realized the need for a new building and requested funding through ballot proposals in 1956, 1957 and 1970. Voters rejected these proposals forcing officials to cancel court hearings and other due to insufficient heat and overloaded electrical wiring and rent space in other buildings.
Their fourth request for funding in 1973 was successful and officials received 13 bids to construct a new courthouse. They selected the Marshalltown, Iowa firm of Cervetti-Weber & Associates, Inc. at a cost of $48,878.84. The new courthouse would be constructed on the grassy immediately south of the 1881 building. Groundbreaking was April 14, 1974, and officials dedicated the new facility December 14, 1975. The building was completed for about $940,000.

Director's Cut
In 2005, to celebrate Pere Ubu's 30th Anniversary, a "Director's Cut" was released which featured new mastering, alternate mixes, and two bonus tracks. David Thomas explains: "The point of doing a Director's Cut is to benefit from that older and wiser thing. I reviewed all alternate mixes from the session, sometimes discovering that an earlier mix turned out to be superior to the chosen mix. As well, 10 years later, we have access to improved mastering technology. Consequently, there is a greater clarity and cohesion to the Director's Cut. We are not going to make both versions available. The Director's Cut is the way it's supposed to be. Period."
Pennsylvania wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The climate in Pennsylvania is mild compared to surrounding states, with the moderating effects of Lake Erie to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. 119 wineries are located in all parts of the state, including five designated American Viticultural Areas. Pennsylvania is the eighth-largest wine producing state in the country.

Testimony begins in trial of Butler County babysitter charged with murdering toddler
HAMILTON, Ohio (WKRC) - The injuries observed on a little girl that apparently led to her death are consistent with abusive head trauma, according to testimony given on Tuesday in the trial of Lindsey Partin.
The doctor who made the statement examined CT scans of Hannah Wesche, the 3-year-old girl who prosecutors say died at the hands of her 36-year-old babysitter, Partin.
Wesche died a year ago, 10 days after she was brought to the hospital by EMTs from her babysitter’s home in Butler County.
The jury — nine women and five men — two are alternates — heard on Tuesday from the medical team that tried to save Hannah’s life and the jury was shown pictures of Hannah’s bruised face and body.

Butler County's Veterans Treatment Court aims to help veterans with treatment, diversion
Butler County Common Pleas Judge Michael Oster Jr. now presides over Butler County's new Veterans Treatment Court. The court is a diversion program to help veterans get treatment for drug- and alcohol-related problems. Municipal judges in Hamilton and Middletown have been operating Veterans Treatment Courts for several years, but Oster's court is the first for the county. "It's there to get them engaged in the VA, it's there to get them help for their issues and really walk them through so they can have a much more productive (life)," Oster said. "These were people who have served us all, who gave the greatest sacrifice. What we're here to do is put them back on track."

HAMILTON, Ohio (WKRC) - The injuries observed on a little girl that apparently led to her death are consistent with abusive head trauma, according to testimony given on Tuesday in the trial of Lindsey Partin.
The doctor who made the statement examined CT scans of Hannah Wesche, the 3-year-old girl who prosecutors say died at the hands of her 36-year-old babysitter, Partin.
Wesche died a year ago, 10 days after she was brought to the hospital by EMTs from her babysitter’s home in Butler County.
The jury — nine women and five men — two are alternates — heard on Tuesday from the medical team that tried to save Hannah’s life and the jury was shown pictures of Hannah’s bruised face and body.
Partin sat quietly while the EMT who responded to Hannah that day and the doctors who treated her testified before a jury.
The EMT said the father was shaking Hannah when he arrived. Trying to get her to wake up, he later revised that statement to say nudging, instead of shaking.
The physician who first examined Hannah said she had bruising on her face and body and she was basically unresponsive.
The jury saw pictures of Hannah with bruises on her left eye, chin, neck and body.
On cross examination, the defense attorney asked the doctor if he could say when or where the pictures were taken.
The pediatric neuro radiologist that examined the CT scans of Hannah’s brain said the injuries she detected were likely caused by abusive head trauma — not the kind of injury you get from a simple fall. The EMT earlier in the day told the court the babysitter told him that Hannah had fallen over a toy in the garage the day before and hit her head.
The defense spent the day planting the seed that Hannah’s injuries may have occurred at the hands of someone else, even perhaps the medical team.
Hannah’s mother and father spent the day at the courthouse, but outside the courtroom — they cannot be present because they may be called as witnesses.
This trial is expected to last eight days. The prosecution tells us it plans to call 10 more witnesses. The defense has just four people on its witness list including the defendant Lindsay Partin.
According to court papers, Lindsay Partin beat the three-year-old because she dumped ketchup into a toilet. Partin told deputies Hannah fell the day before, hitting her head on the floor.
The prosecution and defense both gave opening statements Tuesday morning. The prosecution then presented its first witness, the responding EMT who tended to Hannah after the 911 call.
The prosecutor asked the EMT about a conversation he had with the babysitter while he was trying to administer aid to the unresponsive child.
On redirect, the defense attorney asked the EMT about the behavior of Hannah's father at the time. The EMT said the father was shaking Hannah trying to get her to wake up.
