Prohibition Monument 1920
Description
The first Scioto County Court House (not shown) was built in 1817 on Market Street. The second, shown lower left on this page, was constructed in 1836 at Sixth (6th) and Court Streets. In about 1926 the third Court House, shown at the top, was erected. The dates printed are not significant to any of the Court Houses.
The fourty-three room Hotel Grimes was built at 902 Second (2nd) Street by H S Grimes. It was razed in 1966 for the expansion of the Portsmouth Branch of Ohio University (Shawnee). In 1920 a tombstone was put up near the Roy Rogers Esplanade because people thought that Portsmouth would die economically as a result of prohibition.
