    That is one amazing courthouse! I wonder if the inside is as beautiful as the outside.

    Makes me wonder how it's been renovated inside for the Internet age. :-)

    So do you think General Lee would have ever seen that building? It's beautiful!

    'Tis a lovely old courthouse and looks to be in great shape. Any buildings we have of this age are probably tiki huts. And not in such good shape! :)

    Very traditional. I think this is what most of us think of when we think of a courthouse.
