Clermont County's First Courthouse Era and Early Batavia
Batavia grew around the county seat plan after 1824. Ezekiel Dimmitt built the first courthouse in 1827 for 3843 dollars, a loss of about 1500. Ben Hopkins planted a sapling sycamore in front of the courthouse, a living record. Early commerce included Miley and Armstrong’s 1817 frame building by Water Street, and Eliza Ann Patterson Robinson’s 1818 birth in Batavia. Hotels emerged to serve lawyers, with Robinson then moving his hotel across a run to the 1832 Clermont Hotel site after an earlier structure burned in 1899.
