Abstract	This article considers the ways in which Henry Hobson Richardson's Allegheny County Courthouse (completed in 1888) mediated a fraught relationship between citizens and their government in late nineteenth-century Pittsburgh. An analysis of the building's fabric and the archival material that elucidates its initial reception reveals how Richardson's courthouse served as an ennobling framework that helped restore trust between the citizens of industrial Pittsburgh and their local government following a wave of deadly labor protests in the 1870s and suspicion of political corruption.
