2. National Register of Historic Places nomination form for the Danville Historic District.
This form was prepared by James R. Zubler, Commmunity Planner for the SEDA Council of Governments on August 11, 1993. The Montour County Courthouse is a contributing structure and notable building on the nomination form, generally for its architectural features. For instance on pages 6-7:
The Montour County Courthouse... is a two-story brick structure with a pedimented central entry supported by bracketing. Tall narrow windows are set within blind arch masonry surrounds; and an arched coursed stone entry topped by a balustrade finishes the facade detail. The raised porch and a bracketed two-story cupola reflects the building's importance.
The Courthouse's architecture and building work are mentioned on page 16:
Architect O'Malley designed the Montour County Courthouse (1871...), while contractor H. F. Hawke supplied artisans to finish the stonework on the structure while contractor B. K. Vastine orchestrated the brickwork on the Courthouse building...(Submitted on October 21, 2024, by Devry Becker Jones of Washington, District of Columbia.)
