The Stark County Courthouse and its Annex are listed on the National Register of Historic Places for Canton, Ohio. The courthouse building was designed by Cleveland, Ohio based architect George F. Hammond in 1895 [2] , but was built around an older structure originally constructed in the 1870s. [3] The building is considered to be in the Beaux Arts Architecture style reflecting Classicism styles. The clock tower is also adorned with statues of trumpeting angels. A second corner from the original structure tower was removed during the creation of the 1895 modifications. [4]
