Ohio Courthouse Paintings

Oil paintings of each of Ohio's courthouses, together with a painting of the Ohio State House, are on display in the Library. They were painted by emeritus faculty member Hermann Wiebe, and were exhibited at the State House in Columbus in 1991 under the title "The Way We Were." The courthouses are depicted in historic settings, and Wiebe describes the collection as "an attempt to recapture the spirit of the last century."

Here are just a few of the paintings:
