Link Notes

"The architect, William Burrows, created an attractive building with a large, ornate cupola (complete with an iron railing) atop the roof. Bronze statutes of Blind Justice, complete with sword and scales, graced the tops of both front and back entrances. Bronze eagles perched atop the roof peaks. In the front entrance, wide steps took a visitor up to a covered porch. Inside, a double stairway rose from opposite sides of the building to the second floor courtroom, which had a 19-foot ceiling. A new jail occupied the basement."
