Columns and entrance to the Old Courthouse - close-up. The doors were on the west side reached by a flight of stairs. County and city affairs were held there, but it didn't meet the needs in 1936, so by 1937 the present courthouse was under construction. In 2024/5 the courthouse is redoing the entrance once again to allow for entry with no steps. They are also cutting into the NE corner of the grounds to add much needed parking space.
