An excerpt from “The Luzerne County Court House,” The American Architect, September 15, 1909:

The vaulted ceiling of the rotunda corridor and entrance corridors are treated with Mosaics, the pendentives of the vaults having painted portraits of various people prominently connected with the history of the County. The lunettes along the corridor walls which adjoin the mosaic vaults are painted with subjects apropos of the early settlement of the Wyoming Valley.
