Posted by ELMalvaney | May 14, 2010, 8:46 amI think you also identified this as quick as anyone ever–2 minutes after it posted, by my watch!
Posted by ELMalvaney | May 14, 2010, 12:44 pmThere is no cupola on the roof in this picture–was that added later, or removed at some point?
Posted by Susan Allen | May 14, 2010, 8:45 amThis courthouse has a wonderful original judges’ bench — similar to the one in the Carroll County Courthouse in Carrollton.
Posted by Belinda | May 14, 2010, 8:47 amLooks like it was added, as current pictures show it with, and earlier (b&w) photos show it without.
Posted by Susan Allen | May 14, 2010, 8:50 amThat’s a good catch to notice the cupola missing. Doing a little digging, I found that the cupola appears in a late-nineteenth-century photograph, but had been removed by the time this photo was taken, possibly in the same 1930s WPA-remodeling that added the porches and the wings.
Posted by ELMalvaney | May 14, 2010, 8:56 amThe state’s oldest courthouse, built 1839-41. It replaced the original 1812 building, was built primarily with slave labor (what a surprise) and cost approximately $4,000.
Posted by Susan Allen | May 14, 2010, 8:56 amWas painted a particularly dismal shade of gray at one point. I hope it has been repainted recently.
