Description
Black and white photo of the original Ottawa County Court House, built in 1857 in Grand Haven. The building was purchased for a Christian School in 1893 and moved to make room for a three-story courthouse of a post-bellum style. The photo was severely damaged by an attempt at hand-coloring and has been partially restored.
