ii | Indiana Probation Report ON THE COVER
History of the Sullivan County Courthouse Sullivan County was named for Daniel Sullivan, American Revolutionary War hero and later the leader of the Vincennes area militia. The town of Carlisle was the county seat from 1816-1819. A log building in the town of Merom served as the courthouse from 1819 to 1842. The City of Sullivan became the county seat in 1843. The Sullivan County courthouse has been located in the center of the downtown city square in Sullivan since 1843. The construction of the current courthouse began in 1926 and was completed in 1928.
The courthouse was built in the Beau Arts architectural style by architect John Bayard and builder Walter Heath. John Bayard was also the architect of the Vermillion County Courthouse, and the Sullivan County Courthouse and the Vermillion County Courthouse are nearly identical in style. It was the conscious choice of the Sullivan County Commissioners to construct the courthouse in Sullivan based on the design of the Vermillion County Courthouse, which had been completed in 1924. The Sullivan County Courthouse is nearly square, constructed with a steel frame and concrete. The facing is made of Indiana limestone. The four sides of the exterior of the building are virtually alike with each having a Corinthian order composite pillar cornice. The center of each of the four sides has a rounded arch parapet with a clock.
The building has three floors and a basement, and within the interior there is a stained-glass dome. A rotunda spans the building’s three floors and the interior walls of the courthouse are made of marble. In the rotunda, there are two plaques that commemorate the life and career of Antoinette Dakin Leach, a women’s rights pioneer, and prominent leader in the women’s suffrage movement in Indiana. Dakin Leach was the first woman to be admitted to the bar in 1893 and she practiced law in Sullivan County.
The Sullivan County Courthouse was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008 and houses the Sullivan County Circuit and Superior Courts.
