It was built in 1890 in the Richardsonian Romanesque style of architecture and its entire cost was paid by public subscription, $5,000 of which was given by the Philadelphia and Erie Land Company.[1] It is distinguished by its front clock tower topped by a statue of Lady Justice. It was photographed in 1992 by Calvin Beale for the United States Department of Agriculture. A current photograph shows a large addition extending out on the right side of the tower.[2] Due to its low filing fees for divorces and the high number of uncontested divorce filings, it has been called the "divorce capitol" of Pennsylvania.[3] Unlike many other courthouses of the same vintage which have been replaced or superseded by newer buildings, it is still in use today as a courthouse.[4][5] References1. ^History of Cameron County, Pennsylvania 1890 by J.
