Lorain County Courthouse Fire Hazard Photos Highlight Inadequacy
A set of images documents severe space shortages and fire risks at the Lorain County courthouse. Photos show a crowded probate office with steel cabinets in the hall, a fragile balked balcony, a false ceiling over the courtroom, witnesses waiting on the second floor, and historic records stored in shifting makeshift racks. The collection warns that irreplaceable records could be lost in a fire and calls for urgent building improvements.
