About this postcard

A view of the Porter County Court House in Valparaiso, Indiana, seen through mature shade trees across a lawn, with its tall clock tower and corner pavilions rising above the foliage; a red brick building with an arched window appears at the right edge. The caption names it simply "Court House, Valparaiso, Ind." The limestone courthouse, designed in the Beaux-Arts style and completed in the early 1880s, remains the seat of Porter County government and is the centerpiece of the city's courthouse square.
