Circleville Pumpkin Show - The Genius of Weary & Kramer

Pickaway County Courthouse, 1888, Weary and Kramer Architects.

The Pickaway County Courthouse is literally one of the most amazing buildings I have viewed over the course of all my years of architectural history study and international travel. The high level of intellectual play of geometry and historical iconography is amazing. "Let's play with the geometry, symmetry... let's create a surprising building that probably no one other than a highly- trained architect would understand," I might imagine Weary and Kramer said to one another when designing this building.
