Mio | The Oscoda County Courthouse was built in 1888-89 at a cost of about $3800 by George E. Hunter from a Classical Revival design by architects Pratt and Koeppe. Unlike the stone and brick courthouses commonly built at the time, the Oscoda County Courthouse is a modest wood frame building, originally sided with wooden clapboards. The building is fronted by a projected bay topped with a hip-roofed steeple. One-story wings extend from both sides of the courthouse. |

Famous quotes containing the word county:
“Don’t you know there are 200 temperance women in this county who control 200 votes. Why does a woman work for temperance? Because she’s tired of liftin’ that besotted mate of hers off the floor every Saturday night and puttin’ him on the sofa so he won’t catch cold. Tonight we’re for temperance. Help yourself to them cloves and chew them, chew them hard. We’re goin’ to that festival tonight smelling like a hot mince pie.”
—Laurence Stallings (1894–1968)
