"Old Medina County Courthouse" Has Holes in Floor

There are actually two buildings that house the Medina County Common Pleas Court and the Medina County Clerk of Courts. One of them is a Victorian structure that is 170 years old and the other is a relatively much newer building that was built in 1968.

The older building houses the Medina County Domestic Relations Court, the Medina County Adult Probation Department, part of the Medina County Clerk of Courts staff, and the Medina County Juvenile Court Probation Department.

The newer building is where the two General Division Judges of the Medina County Common Pleas Court are located; the Medina County Law Library; the Medina County Probate and Juvenile Court Judge; and the main operations of the Medina County Clerk of Courts.

The Victorian building, while charming, has a lot more maintenance issues than the 1968 building. This was shown last week when an employee of Domestic Relations Judge Mary Kovack stepped through the floor of the Domestic Relations Court. Judge Kovack believes that the steam pipes that heat the building weakened the wood floor.
