Courthouse Place Description
This 1892 Romanesque stone building served as Cook County's court house until 1929. It was here that Clarence Darrow defended murderers and where journalists Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur derived the inspiration for their 1928 work, The Front Page. In the 1980s the building was renovated and now provides professional office space.
