Dodge County’s Neoclassical courthouse was designed by Edward Columbus Hosford (1883-1939), an Eastman native. It’s the second courthouse in the history of the county; William Dodge had a two-story frame courthouse built at his expense as an appreciation for the county having been named in his honor. It was torn down in 1906 or 1907 and replaced with this structure.

The courthouse is actually not in use anymore due to Pigeons roosting in it and creating a health hazard for employees and people passing through conducting there business. I believe it has been closed for about 5 years or so now.
