A County Seat Rebuilt Three Times
Whitley County chose Columbia -- renamed Columbia City in 1854 -- as its seat in 1839, and has rebuilt its courthouse on the same site twice since: once around 1850 and again in 1888-1890, when the current Beaux Arts courthouse designed by Brentwood S. Tolan was completed.
Drainage Around an Established Town Core
A town center built up gradually since 1839 has drainage infrastructure layered over nearly two centuries, sitting on the same clay-heavy glacial soils common to northeastern Indiana, which saturate quickly in wet weather. Older homes near Columbia City's historic core can have grading and drainage that predates any coordinated stormwater planning, unlike the town's newer subdivisions.
