Court House Restoration Update—June 2006

 


Corinthian Capitals Installed

Corinthian Capitals Installed
The salvaged capitals are hoisted into position and carefully set in place.

The restoration process of the historic County Court House is moving along on schedule. Workers have begun installing the Corinthian capitals on top of the columns--a lengthy and tedious procedure since placement of the capitals has to be very precise. Then, they are secured with pegs and glued for extra strength.

Watch the renovation as it happens on the Web cam.

Bricks
Also in progress is the placement of new yellow bricks on the exterior. After the bricks are installed they will be stained to match the original color.

Elevator
Extensive support structures have temporarily been installed to stabilize the building while the elevator shafts are being prepared. There will be two elevators, one for passengers and one for freight.
