Washington Court House OH ~ Fayette County Courthouse

            Archibald M. Willard Murals
Opened on May ! 1885. Ohio Artist Archibald Willard, who is best known for the patriotic painting, " The Spirit of 76," was commissioned do painting and fresco work for the interior walls of the courthouse. Willard did not sign his work and the artist's identity remained a mystery for nearly 75 years until confirmation was made in 1956. The artist's name was cleverly disguised in the delivery address of the letter in "The Spirit of the U.S. Mail mural.  The other primary murals, The Spirit of Electricity" and "Spirit of the Telegraph," adorn the third floor corridor.
The Second Empire style building rises three-stories on its square foundation.
