520 _a"The Court Houses of a Century" by Kenneth W. McKay is a historical account published in the early 20th century, specifically in 1901. The book examines the evolution of court houses in the London District, Middlesex County, and Elgin County over the span of the 19th century. It highlights the social and administrative importance of these buildings as the legal infrastructure developed alongside the region's population growth and community transformation. The content of the book is a comprehensive overview of significant court houses that have served the local population from the year 1800 to 1900. McKay details various structures, starting with the Munro House and its early use as a court venue, followed by the constructions at Turkey Point, Vittoria, and London. The historical narrative includes descriptions of the buildings’ architecture, the context of their use, and the pivotal events surrounding their establishment and operation. McKay provides insights into community development and the changing needs for justice and governance during this century, reflecting a growing societal complexity and the establishment of a legal framework essential for the region's administration.
