    Old Indiana County Courthouse

    On a recent visit to Indiana (Pennsylvania), a city on the periphery of the Greater Pittsburgh metropolitan area, old Pa Pitt was both disappointed and delighted to find the old Indiana County Courthouse shrouded in scaffolding—disappointed because it meant he could not get a clear picture of the building, but delighted because it meant that the building is getting the loving care it deserves. It was finished in 1870; the architect was James W. Drum, who designed several other prominent buildings in Indiana. The gilded cupola is the distinctive feature of the Indiana skyline, and the clock keeps the correct time.

    Trinity German Evangelical Lutheran Church

    This little country church is now surrounded by suburbs, though there are still farms nearby. The date stone on the front of the building tells us it was built in 1868.
