CHAPTER XX
COUNTY BUILDINGS AND INSTITUTIONS
THE THREE COURT HOUSES.
The first Court House was erected in the center of the circle, at the present crossing of Court and Main streets. The building was octagonal in shape, constructed of brick with a tower in the center. It was first occupied for court purposes early in April, 1814, and was torn down about 1840 and from that time for a period of six years the courts were held in temporary quarters, part of the time in the old Lutheran Church on West Franklin street and for a while in the United Brethren Church on East Main street.
The building of the Court House at the corner of Court and Franklin streets was com- menced in the fall of 1845. The contract for the brick work was let on the 16th of Septem- ber, 1845, by the commissioners to Jacob Strickler, at $5.40 per thousand "to be counted in the walls and no deductions for openings," and the same day a contract was made with Jo- seph Kinnear for the delivery of the lumber at 80 cents per thousand feet, inch measure. The building was 45 feet in width by 105 feet in length, with large columns in front, sur- mounted by a tower; the basement was con- structed for the county jail. The entire build- ing was completed in 1847. The total cost was $45,000. N. B. Kelly, of Columbus, was the architect and superintendent of construction.
The offices in the building not being large enough for the increasing business, and the jail
in the basement having been repeatedly con- demned by the grand jury, the commissioners, in 1887, by authority of an act of the General Assembly, passed May 4, 1885, decided to remodel the Court House and build a jail and jailer's residence. On the 2nd of February, 1888, the contract for the improvements was awarded to Doerzbach & Decker, of Sandusky, Ohio, their bid of $104,420 for the entire work being the lowest. The contractors began the work early in the spring. The corner- stone of the improved Court House was laid June 21, 1888, with Masonic ceremonies. The Court House was enlarged by the addition of two wings, and was made a commodiuos, sub- stantial structure with abundant light and ex- cellent ventilation, convenient in every way for the business of the people. Both buildings were completed in the latter part of 1889, and accepted by the commissioners January 4, 1890.
COUNTY INFIRMARY.
The first County Infirmary was located on the Columbus pike, north of the town of Cir- cleville-now North Court street-the com- missioners having bought 36 acres of land of Joshua Folsom and wife for $1,800, on the IIth of April, 1831, and erected a building thereon-the house located where the residence of William E. Crist now stands. The institu- tion was closed out in a few years, the prop- erty sold and for more than 30 years the county

was without an Infirmary. At the October election in 1865, the commissioners submitted to vote a proposition to buy a farm and build . an Infirmary, which received 3,206 votes to 1,087 in the negative. On September 8, 1868, the farm in Washington township, four miles from Circleville, on which the Infirmary build- ings are located, was purchased by the com- missioners from Christopher .F. Branstadt, paying $18,000 for 256 acres. The farm of Lewis Lutz, south of Circleville, containing 180 acres, had been purchased the previous year for the purpose, but there were objections and it was sold and the other farm selected. The building of the spacious Infirmary was commenced in 1872 and completed in August, 1873. The commissioners, having accepted the building from the contractors, placed the directors in charge and on the 9th of September the institution was formally opened. The structure cost $125,000 and was substantially built under the superintendence of William Doane, who was a master mechanic and expert builder. The first superintendent and matron were John Morris and his wife, Elizabeth Mor- ris, who continued in the positions until April I, 1896-23 years and eight months-their administration being completely successful. They were succeeded by S. M. Yates as super- intendent and his wife, Martha Yates, as matron, who managed the institution judicious- ly and economically for six years, their succes- sors, Mr. and Mrs. Louis Schneider, the pres- ent efficient superintendent and matron, taking charge April 1, 1902. The number of inmates on the 31st of August, 1906, was 64 males and 25 females-less than half the number of in- mates until recent years.
THE CHILDREN'S HOME,
Until last year, was an annex of the County
Infirmary and under the same management. In September, 1883, the farm house on the Infirmary farm was ordered remodeled by the commissioners, to be used as a Children's Home. The work, having been completed, was accepted by the commissioners March 8, 1884, and shortly thereafter the house was occupied by the children in charge of a matron. This building was destroyed by fire December 20, 1897. The children were transferred to the building close to the Infirmary, which was constructed for an insane department and this was used as the home until a year ago. In 1902, the building of a Children's Home, as an institution separate and apart from the County Infirmary was authorized by an act of the General Assembly. The building was com- pleted and made ready for occupancy in the fall of 1905. The building is eligibly located on part of the Infirmary farm on the west side of the turnpike road which passes through the farm, a part of the farm having been set apart for the use of the home. The building is of brick, two stories and basement, with all the- latest conveniences and fixtures. The trustees appointed by the County Commissioners, under the provisions of the law for the government of such institutions, constitute a bi-partisan board, viz .: Edwin E. Winship, Sr., John Courtright (Democrats) ; M. B. Radcliffe and Homer V. Johnson (Republicans). The trustees ap- pointed George W. Runkle, superintendent and his wife, Carrie T. Runkle, matron, who have abundantly shown their capability for the posi- tions. The home opened nearly a year ago with 44 children; admitted since that time, 12; placed 16 with families and on the 31st of August, 1906, had 40 inmates. The home has a good school with a capable teacher during the school year. The institution is very creditable to the county.

STATISTICS
POPULATION STATISTICS.
Pickaway County increased quite rapidly in population during the first years of its set- tlement; then the growth was gradual until 1880, when the high water mark was reached, as shown by the United States census figures. From 1880 to 1900 there was a slight loss of population which seems to have been at the expense of the rural districts, for as a rule the towns showed marked signs of a substantial progression in size and importance.

VOTE OF COUNTY FOR GOVERNOR AND PRESIDENT.
In the early years of the county and after the organization of the Whig party, there were frequent close contests and candidates of both leading parties were elected, but after the pass- ing of the Whig party the Democratic party steadily gained in strength and since 1852 every Democratic candidate for President has carried the county and also every Democratic candidate for Governor with the exception of 1861 and 1863. The following is the vote for Governor beginning in 1812 and for President from 1824:
1812-Governor, Return J. Meigs, 239; Thomas Scott, 224.
1814-Governor, Thomas Worthington, 362; Othniel Looker, 496.
