Perry County Courthouse renovation earns state historic preservation award

The transformation of an aging 19th-century landmark into a building equipped for modern use has earned statewide recognition. The Perry County Courthouse was one of 12 historic preservation achievements across Ohio honored Nov. 6 with the Ohio History Connection’s 2026 State Historic Preservation Office Awards. The awards recognize projects that demonstrate the value of historic preservation through rehabilitation, stewardship, research and public engagement. According to the Ohio History Connection, the recipients exemplify how thoughtful preservation can strengthen communities while ensuring historic resources remain accessible for future generations. Built in 1887 and designed by architect Richard Yost, the Perry County Courthouse is an example of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture. A two-year, multimillion-dollar renovation sought to modernize the building without losing its historical architectural features. Renovations included upgrades to accessibility, restrooms, courtrooms and office space, while preserving and restoring some of the courthouse’s most significant architectural elements. One of the most visible projects was the restoration of the grand interior staircase. Part of the staircase was removed in the 1960s to make room for an elevator. As part of the renovation, new cast iron stringers, balustrades, medallions and newel posts were fabricated to match the historic pieces that remain. The courthouse’s main entrance

Junction City asks court for favorable decision in lawsuit over seized police dog

COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Village of Junction City and two village officials have asked a federal court to grant them favorable judgment in a lawsuit brought against them by a former interim police chief, after village officials seized a police dog that both he and the village claimed was their property. In a motion filed Nov. 2 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, the defendants — Junction City, Mayor Edwin Keister and Police Chief Amy English — contend that plaintiff Casey Williams’ case against them relies heavily on his claim that a male Belgian Malinois dog named Apollo belonged to him when English, assisted by Lancaster Police, seized the animal from Williams’ residence with a search warrant. But this is not true, they insist. “Nearly every claim (in Williams’ complaint) depends on Plaintiff’s assertion that he owned Apollo,” the motion states. “He did not.” It notes that in an earlier version of Williams’ lawsuit, the court had “already rejected Plaintiff’s ownership theory,” concluding that Williams’ allegations “more plausibly established that Apollo remained village property.” Williams first filed suit in January 2024, shortly after the dog was taken from him. His case briefly caught the
