If you’re a fan of architecture like me, it’s easy to forget that, at their core, courthouses are buildings that house the courts. I can throw all the shade I want toward officials who vote to demolish a historic courthouse, but I start to come around when it becomes apparent that the building is no longer able to adequately serve its purpose. That happened in Logansport in the late 1970s. As a result, Cass County has the dubious distinction of being home to Indiana’s most recent historic courthouse casualty.
