Photographer: Harold Allen (Historic American Buidings Survey, Library of Congress)
Taken: May 24, 1965
Caption: Courthouse Plaza, formerly known as the Cook County Criminal Courts Building
Additional Description: Significance: This building of 1892 is one of the last works of a lesser-known, early Chicago architect, Otto H. Matz. Its blocklike form and heavily rusticated exterior recall something of the Richardsonian tradition of the early 1880's. - HABS
