About this property
The Lackawanna County Courthouse is an historic courthouse building that is located in Scranton, Lackawanna County, in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. Built in 1884, this historic structure is a three-and-one-half-story, rectangular, masonry building, with a raised basement. Designed in the Romanesque Revival style, it was enlarged in 1896, with the addition of a third story and reconstruction of the roof to include a number of eclectic design elements. This building measures approximately 100 by 140 feet (30 by 43 m) and features a five-story clock tower. The roof of the structure is covered with Conosera tile produced by Ludowici. A courthouse wing was built in 1964. This courthouse was the site of the first session of the 1902 Anthracite Coal Strike Commission. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997, along with the monument to John Mitchell. The monument to John Mitchell (1870–1919) was erected in 1924. The tribute to the head of the United Mine Workers consists of a granite monolith with a niche, enclosing a bronze statue of Mitchell.
