The building is an outstanding example of a highly detailed vernacular frame building.[2] It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1976[2] and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1] HistoryArenac County was organized in 1883 from sections that had been part Bay County.[2] Omer was selected as the county seat and a courthouse was built- In 1889 the courthouse burned down, and the county hired local contractor and sawmill owner Angus McDonnell to construct this building on the same site.[2] The building was finished in 1890 at a cost of $2970.75.[3] In 1891, a county-wide vote selected Standish as the county seat, and the county government was moved. In 1893,[2] the vacated court building was sold to the Omer Lodge of the Free and Acceptable Order of Masons for $500.[3] At various times, the Masonic Lodge allowed the village to use the structure as a village hall, fire station, and jail.[2]Facing heavy repair costs, the Masons moved out of the building for smaller quarters in 1997.[3][4] The structure was purchased by Carol and Robert Britt, who completed some repairs and restoration work with the intention of converting the structure into a museum. In 2004, the Britts then sold the building to the Arenac County Historical Society.[3] The building currently serves as the Society's Historical Courthouse Museum, known as "Ye Olde Courthouse Masonic Hall".[3] DescriptionThe Second Arenac County Courthouse is a rectangular symmetric two-story frame structure covered with clapboard with a hip roof.[2] The entrance is through a porch supported with slender columns with a slightly projecting bay. An elaborate fanlight window sits above the entrance, and gable above features fishscale shingles and sunburst carving. A graceful cupola tops the structure.[2] References1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 {{cite web |url=http://www.mcgi.state.mi.us/hso/sites/2668.htm|title= Second Arenac County Courthouse |publisher= Michigan State Housing Development Authority: Historic Sites Online|accessdate= October 3, 2013}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web | title = Ye Olde Courthouse Masonic Hall | publisher = Northeast Michigan Council of Governments | url = http://www.us23heritageroute.org/arenac.asp?ait=av&aid=684 | accessdate = October 5, 2013}} 4. ^{{citation | title = Michigan's County Courthouses | author = John Fedynsky | publisher = University of Michigan Press | year = 2010 | ISBN = 9780472117284 | page = 14 | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=ogrel7yYnvQC&pg=PA14#v=onepage&q&f=false}} External links
