It occupies a corner lot and combines Italian Renaissance and French architectural concepts.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the courthouse has long served as an aesthetic landmark in Warren. It is presented as an excellent example of a 19th-century Victorian courthouse, with exuberant and often Baroque detail. The form marks social/humanitarian and theater-related areas of significance, though the justification for these is brief.","narrative":"Built in 1876 and completed in 1877 to a design by M. E. Beebe of Buffalo, New York, the Warren County Courthouse is a large building of red brick, grey sandstone, slate and iron, measuring 72 by 122 feet. Its corner towers, central pedimented entrance projection, convex mansard roof, shallow dormers and central dome topped by a clock tower give it a distinctive profile. The design blends Italian Renaissance and French concepts, and its carved woodwork and triple baroque window on the main facade are noted as especially impressive. The building was constructed for a total cost of $100,000. It was placed on the lot originally intended as Warren's business center, which later became residential, and it has long served as a landmark in the town. The courthouse is regarded as an excellent example of a 19th-century Victorian county courthouse. A small addition was made to the rear in 1925, built in similar style and construction.","period_of_significance":"1876-1877","architect_builder":"M. E.
