I have a clodhopper tendency to say that any community which features a skyscraper that tops three-hundred feet is big, and I generally use South Bend, Indiana, as my baseline since it has one tower that meets that requirement. So far, I’ve only gone to a few courthouses in cities that qualify as big according to my skyline standards- places like Columbus, Indianapolis, Toledo, and Fort Wayne that represent the country’s 14th, 15th, 83rd, and 84th largest communities. But with five towers that top my 300-foot benchmark, Dayton counts too. I love when I can take a photo of an old courthouse surrounded by skyscrapers!
