City Hall and Court House,
Covington
from Ballou's Pictorial Drawing-Room
Companion, circa 1860
The view "is an accurate delineation of
the City Hall and
Court House in Covington. It stands on Greenup, corner
of Third Street. It was erected in 1843. The architecture,
it will be observed, is of a pleasing and substantial character,
and it has a fine effect from the luxuriance of the surrounding
foliage."
