  3. Look at the surrounding buildings - close behind, VERY tall and made from glass and ?concrete. Central Local Courthouse stands out by itself.

    1. Yes, the office and apartment buildings dwarf the court building now.

  4. This reminds me so much of building in San Francisco that I have never gotten the name of and each time I pass by it, I always mutter how I need to stop one day and walk up to see what building it is.

  8. Thank you much for sharing this courthouse with SEASONS - it has much more character than the highrises in the background! And the plants in the front give it the finishing touch! Have a great rest of the week:)
