Civil War Memorial in Elyria Save

Description: Caption on reverse reads: "Downtown, Elyria (typical of Western Reserve). Photograph courtesy of Elyria Chamber of Commerce. This photo must be returned to Ohio Writers' Project. 8 E. Chestnut St., Columbus, O. - In the Cities (page 4, upper)." This photograph shows the Civil War Monument in the town square in Elyria, called Ely Park, facing south towards the old Lorain County Courthouse. Ely Park is bounded by Broad Street, Court Street, 2nd Street and Middle Avenue. The Civil War Monument stands 41 feet 8 inches tall and was designed by Joseph Carabelli. The granite memorial cost $8,500 and was dedicated June 26, 1888. A Union soldier holding a flag stands at the top. Two soldiers flank the bottom of the statue, each standing 'at ease', with rifles held horizontally in front of them. The inscription on the front reads: "1861 - 1865. Elyria. To her heroes who fought and her martyrs who fell, that the Republic might live." The Lorain County Courthouse, located at 308 2nd Street, was designed by architect Elijah E. Myers and completed in 1881. Built of Amherst sandstone in the Renaissance Revival style, the building cost $200,000 and is identical to the courthouse in Marion, Indiana. Declared unsafe, the dome was removed in the 1940s, amidst a campaign to have the entire building demolished in order to be replaced by a WPA financed structure. The main floor was originally a large, ornate court room. Brick floors, covered with Zanesville tile, vaulted between iron beams, created scalloped ceilings in the floor below. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Renovations took place in 1981 - 1982, and much of the ornate woodwork, fireplaces and vaults were insensitively removed. The current use of this building is unknown. View on Ohio Memory.
